Real/Unreal

I create a new world each night while I sleep: I own a convertible that fires guided missiles; my parents are still alive and I have dinner with them every week; I can fly; my apartment has a door in the closet that leads to an underground espionage school --

And each morning my world is erased by sun, alarm or hungry cat, and all that remains is a false memory, a fabricated existence that I have to throw aside with the sheets: No, I'm not in Paris; no, I'm not 19; no, she doesn't love me anymore...
