Downtown Albany 90's

Pavlos

We came together because of the Magus, Stylianos,
So I didn’t feel strange dancing around nude with you.
As we dervished, I saw images
Of your home in Cypress.
One day I remember waking from my dream that was laughing at me.
I now know him as my dream narrator.
He laughed at me for not knowing
I was climbing the stairs of the Parthenon.
