Cloud Afternoon

Have you noticed how the pillows
Squish the light out
As you're ready to receive it?

Each ray changes the whole history,
For the world is yours, kid, it only
Breathes when you do.

The luminaries are unlimited 
As are the lifetimes you can choose,
What memories you assume.

The bungalows instead of flying off
Hold their own against the sky 
When it grows too overwhelming.

The slightest nudge
Jars meaning 
From the soundest sleep.
