These tiny pieces of broken dreams

Get in the way of everything

These dreams when they break, they break real fine and tiny.

They are everywhere

Itty bitty pieces in my morning coffee,

under the blanket, even in my tooth brush!

I caught a mouthful of them when I yawned this afternoon.

Nasty little bits, sticky and stubborn,

Just like glitter, everywhere and twinkling

Can’t even drink a glass of water without it getting stuck in my throat!

Can’t wash it off even with a power hose!!

Too small and too many pieces to put back together,

No glue will hold it together again

Can't mop them off the floor, can't sweep it up from under the couch

Vaccum machines get jammed. Broken dreams however tiny block everything.

They are just too teensy and numerous,

these tiny pieces of broken dreams

Nothing else to do but sit and wait

And rub the pieces off as they fall into your eyes

And hope for a breeze to blow it all away.
