Daydreaming at work again

we’re running together
through the
rain

in the big city

drifting
and sliding
flawlessly from alley
to alley
from corner
to corner

hopping over fences
and disappearing like
hares
in burrows
when we dive into
manholes

the citizens see us
sometimes
but never care

Until the supervisor at
work sees me
and bellows, “You’re
daydreaming
again!
How about you
get back to work and
try to focus for once, eh?”

I become aware of
the environment that
surrounds me. It seems
less
real
than the one
in my daydreams

Oh well, I’ll stay
here for
a while, I guess

What they don’t know is
that I’m not the
one who summons
the daydreams

It’s the other
way around

they’ll be
back in
no time

and I’ll be
happy again
