The Unknown Dreamer
Listen to poem:
The Unknown Dreamer
David J Walker
I saw myself in a rerun of
the Johnny Carson show
from 1974
with five more
guests before
I would blow
through the curtains and take a bow
Oh
I remember how
he announced
my name clearly and then went
Into his daily blog
monolog
comedy routine
But wouldn’t you know
he ran out of time
before it was mine
to meet
the sweet
sound of applause from an
adoring audience
He clearly said they would
Have me back
Some other time
Wouldn’t you know
The almost of the unknown dreamer
Strikes again
