WAITING FOR YOU: Encountering Our Alien Selves

	Between the worlds of waking & dreaming 
	they wait for you

	Beyond the cracks of imagination 
	below the surface of consciousness 
	and above the ceilings of perception 
	they wait to devour 
	all illusions 
	and welcome you 
	to a cosmic zoo 
	in which humans 
	are but minor phenomena 
	engineered to amuse 

	The Real Masters 
	move through dimensions that
	poets and mad folks occasionally view 
 
	knowing this tiny fragment 
	can ordinary sanitized sanity 
	be the awareness 
	you choose?


Wan-Sze: Isn't death the only thing waiting for us?

Nadia: 	 That's a morbid question.

Will: 	 I dunno. Seems like we spend our whole lives waiting, and then death comes.

Kasim: 	 What "comes" is up to each individual.

Will: 	 That sounds too tidy & cliched to be true. If I've learned anything at all 
         this life, it is that nothing is perfectly tidy.
