This is not about
What was conceived in a dream
It is about a dream
I remember it vividly,
Save for some particulars and
I don’t like any of it,
But can’t say why
I was lying in a car on the back seat
Taking a nap when it started moving
This was not good
There was no driver
I knew there would be a crash
No way to move to get this turned around
My arms were pinned down and
Both were asleep when I woke
The crisis was over
A good thing too
It was 5 P.M. and
Still light outside
Plenty of time to get some things done
Tough being retired
Someone has to do it
This nap had been one of the best
The dream had to come to an end
I got up, still fully clothed
Thought about how
Dreams can wear you out and
I thought of other perturbations
We, old folks, have to deal with
Dwelled for just a moment about
How the young folks think
They have it so hard and
Make a point of complaining
They have no idea
