Reading: Noise Machines

If you want
Her attention, 
Good luck.

America’s
Down for
A nap.

Lined her bed
With signal-
Burying 
Machines 

To defend the
Beast of her
Imagination.

If she dreams
You are flying, you
Will fly.

If she dreams
You are 
Being pursued, you
Will be pursued.

If she dreams
You are 
Being interrogated 
By people with 
No faces, you
Will be interrogated 
By people with
No faces. 

If she dreams
You are pushed 
From a
Great height, you
Will be pushed 
From a 
Great height. 

If she dreams 
The world is
The-same-but-
Not-quite, you
Will live as you
Now are living.

To defend the
Beast of her 
Imagination,

She
Lined her bed
With signal-
Burying 
Machines.

America’s 
Down for
A nap.

If you want 
Our attention, 
Good luck.

Good luck.
