In a dream  

I find myself

on an actors' stage

in a studio.

A cast is there;

a distraction prepared;

and a remotely controlled skeleton

then appears.

 

He asks me: "Will you 

be my friend?";

and extends towards me

a bony hand.

We shake and I say;

That would be comedy.

We could do a routine;

He begins to sing:

 

Do you believe;

in only truth you can see;

in only truth you can hear;

in only truth you can know?

 

Do you believe;

in only truth you can touch;

truth of a limited kind;

truth of an alien mind?

 

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Do you believe;

in just what scientists can find?

 

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Do you believe;

in just what theories predict?

Are you a pessi-mystic?

 

 

 

 The next day

or a few there after

on a sound stage 

in a studio.

Musicians are there.

A conductor prepares;

and a beautiful woman

then appears.

 

 

She tells me how happy

that she is 

to be recording

 a song I wrote.

An orchestra plays!

She swoons and sways!

 Myth takes hold of her!

She begins to sing:

 

Do you believe;

in myth that you can not see;

in myth that you can not hear;

in myth that you can not know?

 

Do you believe;

in myth that you can not touch; 

myth of a limitless kind;

myth of an infinite mind?

 

 

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Do you believe;

in more than scientists can find;

 

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Do you believe;

in more than theories predicts?

Are you an opti-mystic?
