The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 11/18/08 |

"In Praise of Dreams"
In my dreams I paint like Vermeer van Delft.
I speak fluent Greek and not just with the living.
I drive a car that does what I want it to.
I am gifted and write mighty epics.
I hear voices as clearly as any venerable saint.
My brilliance as a pianist would stun you.
I fly the way we ought to, i.e., on my own.
Falling from the roof, I tumble gently to the grass.
I've got no problem breathing under water.
I've can't complain: I've been able to locate Atlantis.
It's gratifying that I can always wake up before dying.
As soon as war breaks out, I roll over on my other side.
I'm a child of my age, but I don't have to be.
A few years ago I saw two suns.
And the night before last a penguin, clear as day.
—Wislawa Szymborska

2. I had a good dream the other night. Entertaining, and possibly profitable. |

I think it would make a fun screenplay.
