the warriors have failed
their lives are going haywire
their dreams are in a mess
now they dream
of giant red turtles
filling up our world
even though
they can sense
how strange it is
dreaming
of the red turtles
& you think
our time
is a terrible one
though it's been like that
since the beginning of time
while the warriors
with their lives transforming
keep dreaming of weird things
and a few of them
even begin to write poetry
and a few return
to being warriors
after the weird hiatus.
