DREAM

The dream I had last night, I forget this morning,

Trying really hard to recall that dream, but to no avail

I had two dreams I don’t know the difference

Just like I don’t the difference between a ‘road’ and a ‘street’

I give up after some time; I look forward to my next dream

It’s all subconscious; my mood and previous thoughts regulate my dream

I have no input in the content of my dream; I do not know what’s coming,

Just like I don't know what comes after once, twice, thrice

Or do you know?

I waited two nights for another dream.

I forget the details of my dream yet again, I can’t quite recall my dream, I can’t be asked to;

Just like you can’t be asked to know the feminine equivalent of brethren

I have become completely unreliable at recalling my dreams.

So when it comes to recalling a dream, I could be as slow as a snail

This is a Sonnet (14 line poem)
