Smarter Dreams
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto


     I stopped making castles out of sand.
     The whole idea is ludicrous.
     If castles are dreams
     Sand is the poorest choice of building material ever.
     Why construct dreams
     If they can be blown away by the wind
     Or washed away by the water?
     Steel and concrete...
     Now that's the way to go.
