If I dream of a boat,
what to make of the water,
I dream of fields but even then know I am putting on symbolism,
revisitation is an emotional crime,
I dream of working,
classic wherewithal,
not loose upon the crowd,
not looking for a familiar face,
avenue after avenue does not ask me to know them
and neither do you,
should we always assume that we are welcome for as long as we want to be welcomed?
