Is Everything a Dream
Chasing chickens down the sidewalk,
she passed the red door once,
twice
Was she going in circles?
Did everyone have a red door?
When did this chicken
get so fast?
Catching lizards in a net,
a fishing net,
a butterfly net,
a net with holes so large it could have slipped away?
Why didn't it run?
Why is the lizard so slow?
Corralling dragons inside a fence
inside a barn
inside her head
She jumps his tail, once
twice.
Is everything a dream?
Did everyone become a creature?
When did she slip away?
