Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am going ro become a street artist <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That will be nice for you <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I am only going to write <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In red blue and white <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will be your message to the world <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are asleep<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our life is a dream <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we wake up sometimes <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just enough to know <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That we are dreaming <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you been raiding my Wittgenstein again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not your Wittgensrein <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is our Wittgenstein <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will paint it on walls <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will break into the railway depot <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And add it to trains <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that we might see my art<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the trains pass <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will probably be arrested <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So be it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I might even do it with the minimum of clothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you taken something Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No but I have just spent time in the bathroom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admiring my beauty <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you have often said <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That without beauty the world is nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane what are you doing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standing on our balcony <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are naked <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you not cold <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freezing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But one has to suffer for ones art <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you intend to do <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will release five thousand slips of paper <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Into the ice winds <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each will be identical <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will become tangled with trains <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And will travel far <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some will remain local <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a form of education you know<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As many sleep in dark rooms <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you used Ludwig again <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think he would make of your theatre Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not know <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He might have said that I am a dream character<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And therefore I can only exist in dreams <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So unless you are dreaming <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You would not be aware of my theatre  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have run you a hot bath <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you know it is hot <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touch it <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me cool the water <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have caught a chill <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will wrap you in my thick dressing gown <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And place you in our bed <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will pamper you <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pamper me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have been away for a long time <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now you have returned to me <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the next hour please call me Laura <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just call me Laura <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return to your desk and complete this fiction Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will just watch the trains <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they pass our home <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trains are such compassionate creatures <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
