Charlie
The first poem was written in 1996 based on a dream I had. The second poem realizes the actuality of that 10 years later...

Charlie: Part I
I talked with my conscience the other night in nothing short of a dream
His twin brother was with him and
Wait, I should first describe:
tall
dark
handsome
a stereo-typed version of perfection
just sitting on my bed
with me alone
in my dorm room
moving shadows around
I lay still
and we discuss
music
nothing important
yet
we discuss
music
from there we talk of
other things
English? be...
creative.
and what of these
people? and then I...
wake.
In the gray-green elixer of my mushy brain mass
protected by the hat of a possessed person named Charlie
whose deep eyes frighten me to confession
where I explain why the people remind me of action figures
But then his pupils are gone
totally void of anything human
So what does he say now?
People don't matter
Let's talk of
music.

Charlie: Part II
The replaying of a dream -
10 years old now!
Connection in technicolor
making sense of faded pictures
drawn to corrupt
drawn to distract
drawn to make me doubt.
His picture in my mind
is now standing before me.
And how will I defend against
these graven images?
Two men set out to destroy;
by unconscious beauty -
I'm struck with silence
Thinking on this power -
when dreams come true
and I don't know what to do.
