Dreaming Isn’t Any Easier

Check your fantasies
Sometime—notice how
Despite being so

Repetitive, they’re
Not predictable,
How they go sideways?

You probably can’t
Savor any one
Long before some

Weird complication,
Imaginary
As the wishful part,

Occupies your brain—
In your fantasies
You argue, win fights,

Anticipate twists,
Give interviews, fix
Whatever went wrong

With the fantasy.
That’s a lot of work
For what won’t happen.
