poem

 Contingency PlanOnce loved we reconfigure as charactersIn someone else ’s dream come true.As conjured participants in another ’s dreamWe inevitably recognize our tenuous status: Our dreamer could wake at any moment.We ’d cease to exist.So we do whatever we can To keep them soundly asleep:Another warm blanketA soft pillowWhite noiseDrawn drapes to hide the moon In the dream I lean over And whisper into her ear:Yes my love, it ’s all real,It isn ’t just a dream1/9/23
