Whenever you startle awake
From dozing in the wheelchair, you
Twist to look over your right side
For the contents and characters
You’d just now been dreaming about,
As if you expected them there,
All the apparatus of dreams,
Never in front or to the left—
Always over your right shoulder.
You’re not awake until the world
Redistributes itself smoothly,
And the empty corners have gone
Back wherever emptiness goes,
One side world, other glowing void.
