Listen to poem:

The Dream of a De Ja Vu Moment

The Dream of a De ja vu Moment
David J Walker

As if broken into a thousand pieces 
the poetic scenes of the night
Make no sense until completed 
Dreams rehearsed first in the light

As if selecting from a catalog of 
forgotten nocturnal thought
Disregarding the disclaimers of
What each might mean
And the light each word sought
Until recognizing the Mise en Scène   
of a De ja vu moment 

It’s the same as when you
Dream that you don’t dream 
But you do
And you know it
