Recipe
Last night you dreamed
you were doing tricks
on a bicycle
near the Grand Canyon
In my dream I gave you
a bowl of tuna fish salad
which you did not like
We slept well together
no longer strangers
in my bed
I took a day off from work
Now I must remember
to eat breakfast
take out the garbage
return phone calls
Mixing the possibilities
of your dreams
with a good night's sleep
& my same old tuna salad
(1993)
