I’ve been dreaming in my room,
not getting anything done.
Dreaming about finding pennies
from the Roaring ’20s. Picking up
the phone all the time, then immediately
putting it down. Dancing in a silver light
threatening to turn gray.
Waiting for everything to equalize.
Dreaming and waiting and dreaming
of a chance to dream free,
sans sand, sans bees hovering
in a huddle in the other room, waiting,
as I am, to pollinate the moon.
