Dream Merchant

So the merchant delivers a dream, you see,

packed and bound by the free

to make of the day a tearful foray

into the feel of human dismay.

And I cannot say, “No, wrong address”

and never can there be any redress

kindly paid to the dreamer in me

when asleep to perceptions of real.

The dreaming, I know, brings in belief

and dances the dance of relief

but ‘tis really a monster untamed

sent to make a woman enflamed.

Watch out, watch out, monsters abound

but don’t bother with looking around

because nothing hidden can ever be seen

except in an extraordinary dream.

And I dream again, again and again

the feel of a beautiful “then”

enhanced in the confines of mind

that maybe can see into time!
