Transcription of a Dream

I'm a child

In a skyscraper

Running up an accordion

Of stair flights

Opening the doors

At the landings

Calling "mom"

No answer

"Mama"

Silence

"Mother"

Nothing

Floor after floor

Until I can't run any longer

Dripping with sweat

Then I realize

That I've seen no one

Not even a janitor

And start to weep
