there's no excuse not to dream

i'll stick my dreams in my pocket
where they'll be warm
and germinate

i'll fantasize of fancy follies
of fateful failings
i'll desire dutiful deeds
and dread my undoing

i'll keep my dreams in my back pocket
where they'll be behind me
where they won't be out of reach

i'll keep my nightmares in my purse
where they can't scare me
where they can't hurt us

i'll hide my dreams in my shoes
where i can keep them
never achieve
never fail

there's no excuse not to dream
and i'm just a dreamer
