My Dream Within a Dream

Dammit all, I need my laptop
before Beta hazes the flow
Goddam glasses, where are they

During the Second Layer
     A guy is fixing the bed
     But It still squeaks for some reason 
     In adult dreams I needn’t
     Explain why the bed squeaks
     When I built the thing I installed
     Hook-eyes to keep you spread 
     and use zip ties because 
     the Asian way is to resist
     We two like it this way
     I don’t know why all this
     Is related. It all made
     sense a minute ago

During the First Layer
     That woman from your work 
     was here with those Siamese eyes
     Headlights as hard as this bed
     She works her hips and heels 
     And looks at me when you can’t see
     But now I’m awake enough
     To watch the handyman
     Trying to fix the squeak

Thanks so much again Constance. Honestly, I was testing the waters here with "mature" content on this site. Perhaps you could offer some further insight or some general perimeters with erotica on PoetrySoup, because at times I like to jump into this genre.
