When I Dream, I Dream of You Poem

I dreamt
      the sun was a Cadillac
      with a black chauffeur
and I was a giant brown gofer
      with yellow teeth
      and a prostate gland
you wouldn't believe.

           But I awoke
and found the moon
      was a white grub
greasy as a hunk of fat
snuggled in my bed
      between wet sheets
and purple hot water bottles,
      dreaming of Camelot
           and calmly reciting Keats.
