What things are made of

You ask me what things are made of

Well..

Dreams are made of cotton
you can scry on their bulbous forms
you can pick them apart with your fingers

but then

dont be sad when they're all gone away
dont be sad when they're torn messed and grey

simians are made of humans
they knew about the plague
they picked the nits
out of their babies hair

so

don't be sad if we're all gone astray
don't be sad if we've all gone away
