Day or dream


If it is only a dream

Then I am not worried

Because I will wake up

And shake it off

Like a snake sloughing off

The skins of the last season

Leaving the frets 

Where they fell

And slithering away

Coffee in hand to confront my fears


Oh yes, it was a dream

Just too long in unraveling 

And waking up is into 

Another dream world 

Where the time goes backward

And I am not sure 

I am growing old

Or just growing poorer

In time and in pocket 


But may be day 

has actually come

And the smell of coffee

And bacon is real

The toasted bread is real too

But it is served on the balcony

Of our neighbor

While we count the biscuits

Left over from before the dreams


Just may be

It is neither day  nor dream.
