Must This Be Imaginary?

Written June 18, 2010

You’d know more about forbidden transitions
than would I.

Everything in me knows that
tunneling through the taboo
has not a shot in hell or earth;

their prying eyes
and judging words
create a barrier
much too high.

But still I wonder,
if one of us
could ever attain
enough energy
to reach that level…

Dammit, let’s defy all laws of man
and do what our nature desires

(I know this is all a dream,
but why does it have to mean
that it can’t be real?)
