not usually able to relax
flat on your bed with your palms up
you're ready to let go
or maybe take flight
whole body still like a dreaming statue
mind emptying out
refilling with green leaves
floating through a sketched portal
of dreams
imagining
your mystical twin
in hugging dark jeans
with a bark-like texture
and a green shirt rustling
like leaves when he moves
standing inside a green tree
bearing little globes perfect
small gold spheres
the tree with your twin standing
on a square meter soil inside
a circle in the middle of the zapping
rush-hour traffic
on an island somehow connected
to like-minded people of all races
sexes ages worldwide likewise
standing on traffic islets
in trees bearing globes of gold
they're all shining
without explanations you're intuiting
that what's being done here
is essentializing
these working mystics extracting
the essence from life's traffic
helping the world tree fruiting
your mystical twin
he's lightly touching your hand
a finger reaching a finger
initiating
you into essentializing
you sit up with a start
startled
searching your mind and your wardrobe
do you even own those essentials
trying to recall the feel
of essentializing
you're thinking denim and silk
from the past you retrieve
a pair of working day jeans
and from the future you conjure
a peace silk shirt rustling green
never worn only seen in your dream
hoping to harvest a small globe of gold
how to teach algebra
to recalcitrant students
