indifferent dreams
putting things into perspective
has become a troubling annoyance
therefore no such efforts
shall be allowed inside this
house of solitary discourse
where a steady stream
of conscious thought
comes in through the outdoor
circulating amongst the drafts that be
until they either expire into
an imaginary pool of desire
or casually live on
in another occupant’s dream
