Perchance
What does it mean
a dream with a pan toilet in it?
Is it a dream of youth
of shit
foreboding, family?
Are thoughts restive
or just collecting where they should?
I grew up in a pan toilet house
tracked the week on the Sanny Man
who never knocked
just smashed the door open
in a half-leather apron and head-stall
said sorry love
then stood outside
waiting until you’d done.
To dream is better.
What a rich source of ideas are our dreams! I enjoyed reading this one thanks Kerri, the juxtaposition of dream with reality remembered.
