Insignificant Realities

He spoke of a dream he had-

“I'm passing through a pyramid -
I am being pushed toward the outside 
toward the light, and I am wet”.

This was too easy. 
I told him
I understood the symbolism:
‘Your dream is about a spiritual rebirth.’
He seemed content.

The next day 
he died of a heart attack
while leaving the glass pyramids
which form anti-chambers
to the Louvre museum.

It was raining at the time.
