“Well, on second thought …”

It's the smallest things that make a poem become a real place with real people in it.

A dream scenario real perhaps once with elements of deep sleep state that can be eschewed in days past by mixed emotions on a path way to understanding Zen.

I too have been influenced by the step into the curtain that opens just for a few seconds to glimpse gone moments to later make sense in a waking world that is questionable.

I saw you walking through a foggy afternoon .. was this a dream? (I admit being distracted by the fries…)

The fries mix the dream with what I see as reality.
