the invaders look like they are zombies or just really sick
and don't clean themselves blood on their eyes and mouths
i'm nervous they keep opening the front door and coming upstairs
i just want to sit and watch tv and forget about them
some of the silverware that i threw at them and missed stuck into the wall
and i was impressed with that
i dream that i ride the L train too far into brooklyn and when i get out to switch
to the manhattan bound track i'm in the country and it's dark
the country keeps invading my dreams
the carpentry work reminds me of the country
i dream i'm in the adirondacks and i walk up to cabin to collect
the ground tarps that we used camping which were spread over split-rail fences
to dry and some people follow me
we cross a stream that's falling over a steep grade and there is a pool
collecting between large rocks
i roll the tarps up in my arms and we go in the stream
i throw a fork into an eye of a haunted stuffed animal that is propped up
on my tv when the eye opens and it's face flashes like a camera bulb.
