It is this at the inn of the dreamer that I know of. It is here that
I sit in the once crowded tavern conversing with others somewhat like
myself. Now the inn is empty. The fat burns in the oil lamp a dull
amber and the wind whistles through the open doorway. Most have left
this place. The dream goes unrealized. I stay however and protect
Cacique. Once in a while a wandering finds their way into this inn
and I greet them and speak to them kindly. They tell me of the way it
is now. Of the happiness through drug induced euphoria. The night
that never ends. “You should try it they say.” I think not. I am
happy here in my inn with the wind as my silent converser. But at
thymes I doubt this existence. Do they doubt theirs. Do they even
think any longer. Or do they let the chemical think for them. I
wonder what happened to my friends? Where did the chemicals take
them? They seem happy but are they? All I know is that melancholia
is my way. I am not happy, but I know this. I have tried from thyme
to thyme to be like you. The conformist, the raver, the popular, the
jock. But although I can adapt to the style well enough. The show is
always a bit awkward and after a thyme I slip comfortable back into
the way I have always been. Alone here I sit, come talk for a while,
but just until I begin to bore you with listening. Then leave and
tell the tale of me to others. I will be here forever. This is my
post and as much as I would like to leave somethymes, I sense that it
is my duty to remain.
