In a dream  

I find myself

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 something you can not see;

in something you can not hear;

in something you can not know?

 

Do you believe;

in something you can not touch; 

in something you can not feel;

in something that might be real?

 

 

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Do you believe;

in more than science can find;

 

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Do you believe;

in more than theory predicts?

Are you an opti-mystic?

 

 

The next day

or a few there after

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;

I begin to sing:

 

Do you believe;

in only things you can see;

in only things you can hear;

in only things you can know?

 

Do you believe;

in only things you can touch;

in only things you can feel

in things that might not be real?

 

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Do you believe;

in just what science can find?

 

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Do you believe;

in just what theory predicts?

Are you a pessi-mystic?
