NO DREAM

Aren’t dreams supposed to be

The seeds of inspiration;

To light the fire

That leads to the creation

Of operas, epics, theories and symphonies?

Well, they don’t work like that for me.

I’m in a zoo or a park,

Walking along a sandy trail

Towards two shady figures,

Who are leaving me behind.

When on the path a bird appears

A whimbrel, a woodcock or a rail.

Why is this stored in my mind?

So instead of worrying about

What this might mean,

I prefer it when the slate is wiped clean,

The screen is erased

And I can wake refreshed

Remembering none

Of these stupid dreams.
