PARTED DREAMERS
At first we tried to share the exact same
dream,
but while I’d dream of climbing mountains
you’d navigate the seas by starlight.
Or we’d both dream of strolling down Main
street,
but I’d be naked
and you’d be wearing a starched blouse and
modest skirt.
And we always wake up on opposite sides of
the bed
with neither of us on top or bottom,
for we each like sprawling in our own space.
At first we tried to share the exact same
dream,
but this morning I woke and scratched a dull
itch.
Now I’m sipping coffee, daydreaming
and listening to morning news, traffic, and
weather,
while you’re in the bedroom snoring.
