I slept through the dream again

for the dream book

 

at the end of school

a series of contests

where the world must prove

its fitness for each

 

I dream I am back there

teacher this time

 

and worlds, not world

fit for whom?

 

return to that other wilderness beginning

 

dream I am back there

everyone else all along

return quit unremarkable

mine to marvel the passage of time

 

the image rattle carriage by

the magic lantern self

 

I dream I was back

about to set out

someone was to tie my laces

now I can do it myself

 

we choose the dark for this comeback

the gone already where

 

I slept through the dream again

and I lived
