Just because My body is here Doesn’t mean I am I've been gone Like a woman Who is emotionally Not present You know-how You all do It’s not that I just suddenly left I’ve really gone back because I stayed in reality too long Now I’ve gone back To whence I've come When I was young Head in the clouds In my virtual world Cyberspace My environment was too small, For all that I create To dream is to really be Awake Abundant minds Can’t be contained In this limited space, My 80s ideas Were worth billions and It’s not too late. Full circle.
