everything's going global

i dreamed
i was in college again
and, ya know, something weird
all these times i've dreamed about being in college
none of them have ever looked anything like
the place i actually went to college

you were coming to campus
everyone was flocking to see you
but
not me
i was writing you something
and, somehow, i knew you'd know

i was writing it on a board
of some kind
and the lines kind of undulated
and
i noticed that my letters
morphed a bit
so that
i think it was the     g  
some of them
looked like sperm
swimming across, or through the lines

and
as i was writing it
i was setting it to a melody
humming little bits
testing it out
as i wrote

and then
i was walking through
what contextually, for the landscape
i'd call a valley
but it was
closed in
not opened out
so the acoustics were great
and
all i can remember
is one line
which was repeated
in
like
a chorus

everything's going      glo - - - bal
