I Live in the Clouds - Teddy Hyde

I live in the clouds

I’ve got a house up there

I’ve got a small yard and tall fences

The neighborhoods not as nice as you think

Nobody talks to me

They stand perfectly still

Never moving

Except after a while I’ll notice somebody’s arm is in a different position than

it was five years ago

Just ever so slightly

Maybe I’m some kind of mosquito to them

Moving faster than they could ever dream to

Or perhaps have a nightmare about

I don’t remember how I got here

I just was

I don’t remember where I lived before but I had a name, I know that much

You quickly lose need for a name with no one to talk to

No one to call you by it

They get names though

That guy over there, his son

That little one, next to the big one

That wide one, next to the slightly less wide one

Every time I jump off I land back on the same cloud

I wonder if they even know I’m here
