Funny Things
Dreams are funny things --
like geese honking overhead,
unseen, heading south,
or squirrels
clapping acorns
on shingles
above my bed.
Some say,
“A goose is a goose,
a squirrel a squirrel,
a dream a dream.
To ask what else they mean
is to insult my intelligence.”
I wonder though
if one who says so
fails to feel Fall, as do the geese,
Winter, as does the squirrel,
life’s seasons,
as do our dreams.
Funny things –
geese, squirrels, dreams.
Unbidden, they are here --
just here --
but slightly out of reach.
Shall I climb out onto the roof,
and ask “What?” and “Why?”
and try to see?
Or shall I just stay in bed,
pull the covers overhead,
mumbling, “Leave me alone!”?
