I had a dream about you last night
In the Carlisle general store
Massachusetts
You were the candy bar
The cereal
Even the toothpaste
Reading the instructions
An advert of your handsome face
Spoke to me
In animation
Breathlessly, excited
Filled with promises
Even in sleep
I thought
'That isn't like you, is it?'
But what do I know
What do I know
Of this secret, silent man
Who comes to me
In animation
Eloquently, lovingly
Without instructions
And leaves again
Without a single promise
