(alexander, naydock)

"charge admission and rope me off"
she said, "i do believe i see income here"
eight hundred and seventy pounds
from a thyroid condition, and one room bound, but

beyond these walls
she screwing off with friends at work, and
beyond these walls
she tells the guy she dates he´s a pompous jerk again

she longs for normalcy
so she´s worked some kinks into her reverie
friends´ll bug you and lovers fail
all that´s human fills an intricate daydream sail, but

beyond these walls
the mundane hints of rhapsody, and
beyond these walls
are faces and aquaintances and reasons for a routine

a rich imagination
and self-depreciation
she plays for laughs and
eases the trials of isolation

where she reclines alone
her breathing labored, she begins to roam
another wonderful active climb
in a beautifully crafted paradigm

beyond these walls
a laugh with friends and awkward dates, and
beyond these walls
she´s overworked and running late, and
beyond these walls
a wealth of situations makes for time away in daydream
time away in daydream
