We Haven't Met
In dreams, i know a thousand souls,
most of whom are strangers,
in real time, we haven't met,
and yet, i know you, interact with
the dream and you in multiple landscapes,
that are strange to me.
Perhaps it is unpleasant, this dream,
we share, but in it, i know you.
Friend and foe, lover or enemy,
in real time, we haven't met,
but dreaming, we weep together,
and sometimes fight or not.
Sometimes, the strangers are cruel,
yet, i know these leering, murderous faces,
as i know myself to be alive.
In the dream, the strangers burn me,
stone me, hang me, taunt me.
Sometimes, we are on stage,
the stranger and i, but it is the wrong play,
wrong lines, wrong costume,
everything is wrong, yet i know
just who you are and how we relate,
and yet......
in real time, we haven't met.
