Never stop walking

Pick up your damn feet and keep on walking
do not pause to look either way,
but instead concentrate ahead and never stop.

Memory Ballad

Every dream is a constant reminder of the past, present and future based on personal experience. In these dreams there is an inherent recollection of every exposure, intimacy and savoir-faire of a person. Whether they are young or old, male, female or in between - it doesn't matter.
I used to remember my dreams, and in those most lucid moments I could pick out my own timeline as though it was written on a chart. Here I was born, and over here I cried, and here I laughed, loved, kissed, ran away and returned.
Dreams are abstract documentaries on your psyche, and a cross section of your own longevity.
Where do I stand at these crossroads? In what direction do I point myself? When does past, present and future become one? Or does it choose to remain fully hidden under psychosis or under one's unwillingness to remember?

Nicotine

I am like nicorette,
nice and good for you.

I stop the bad habits,
the unclean and unhealthy ways.

But still,
at the end of every day,
you steal a smoke and recede,
and you never say.
