Dreaming of Babylon

I was supposed to be
WRITING AN ESSAY TEST,
but there I was:
Dreaming of Babylon.
Dreaming of Babylon in a
different way.
In a relaxed, meandering
SIDLE of a way.
But dreaming,
nonetheless.
It all rushed in with
startling quickness.
Indolence, apathy,
lust of escape.
(NEED for Escape.)
BACK TO THE TEST,
screamed my scandalized mind,
but I just kept on...
Dreaming of Babylon.
