Notes About The Poem

I can go anywhere and do anything - in dreams
----------------------------------------------------

Dark Boredom

Oh! This eternal, infernal lockdown
I want to strike out, in ill-natured rebellion,
but all I can do is grip at shapeless hope.

I’m free to dream, of course, and I dream 
my fill - I’ve become a dreamaholic.

My omnifarious dreams are deliberate, 
whimsical, vengeful, hopeful - they even
tiptoe love's erotic, cutting edge but reality
soon returns - stealthy as a parent - 
to induce dark, ordered boredom.
