The Border Lands


In dreamscapes the motion is better
than even the moviesâ€"
sensory, surrounding, scented, haptic
and felt to the quick. It’s breathy, with all the chemicals.

Continuity, though, is poor. Now becomes then, twice.
In the part of the dream you hadn’t
Dreamed yet you
Are in a field of teacups
Asking where the pumpkins came from.

Someone who could answer does not
And you remember this with frustration
That is somehow familiar.

We must talk to the script writer.
But the motion, in dreams
Is wonderful.
