Up Anchor

Have you ever tried daydreaming
While you were actually dreaming
And knew that’s what you were doing?

It’s an overstuffed sensation,
A turducken of awareness,
An autonoetic excess,

Anchored in nothing but excess
Of neurons talking to neurons
Excitedly while ignoring

Almost everything that the rest
Of the body carries on with,
To say nothing of outer world.

Then you wake up with a start. Dark,
But safer cut from that anchor.
