On the Difference Between Poetry and Brain Chemistry

He said:
'I see two moons in the sky.
One is bright rock, the other is light.'
She said:
'How insightful you are.
That's so philosophical.'
But the two moons are there, he thinks.
He said:
'Sometimes, without closing my eyes,
I see whole stories unfold that I didn't make up.'
She said:
'What a beautiful way
To describe the creative process.'
But this really happens, he thinks.
He said:
'Sometimes I shout myself awake because
There's something alien in the room.'
She said:
'What imaginative dreams you must have.'
He just wishes the bogeys would go away
And let him sleep.
He said:
'I can feel the ruptures in space/time
All around me. I worry.'
She said:
'What a sensitive soul you are.
Aren't we all?
Isn't it fine for us to be so sensitive?'
He thinks that she should stop saying things like that.
