The American, Dreams
But I dreamt of more
than this. Delusion.
Is this even a dream?
Americans conform they said,
sleep as one thing
dream the same dream.
But my wish could not be found
on those fifty stars. Not mine.
Did it, does it exist? It did
once upon a time.
Not a company to keep,
9 to 5. Wife and kids.
No Joneses next door to appease
or Xanax to help with sleep,
no dreams. I wonder,
what would it have been
had I just wandered? Away from this life
I dream at work. And I find happiness there
not in life, but in dreams.
