unexpected dream

(found a poem)

Can't Predict

Like a fish jumps,

shining,

up from the surface

of the water,

And dives back in,

as finale,

One can rise

into consciousness

And then plunge back

Into Sleep's

Alternative Cavern,

To meet a scene

would not have thought --

Meeting familiar

person

waiting alone

for -- (?)

in my own front room

with desks,

lamps,

books;

he stands

in dooway,

back to wall,

wearing prescription

glasses,

I'm wearing

reading glasses

his hands

down

at his sides

palms up --

------------------

that's a surprise

you never know,

with dreams
