I DREAMED OF ANYWHEN

It's Writer's Pantry #32, equivalent to
the free spot in Bingo.  I'm offering what
might be a case study (of me!) or plague
poetry (most likely)....just a bit of
wordplay and nonense.

**********************
Once I dreamed I was in the anywhen, 
the anytime before time,
transported on a wisp of rarefied air
in a stratospherian starmobile.  I was
fleet of foot and keen of eye, acknowledged
ruler in the anywhen.  My weskit,
made of ear of Peruvian yak and hump
of Egyptian camel  protected me from
marauding starchasers and I explored
from the somewhy to the anywhy, taking
notes in my hand-held keeptracker.  It
was a glorious spacetrek until a rogue
rocket wrecked my starmobile and I
fell kerplop into my bunk bed.  
SIGH

  1. Oh, no! To get to that point and lose such an admirable transportation device--living and dreaming can be so unfair. "SIGH", indeed.

  4. I totally love it! You handled the 'and then I woke up' ending with originality and aplomb. And I'm grateful for the excellent identifying of the anywhen, anytime and anywhy. And yes, 'keeptracker' deserves to get into the language too.
