First Line: I have had my dream -- like others
Last Line: At my nose -- and decide to dream no more.
Subject(s): Reality


I have had my dream -- like others --
and it has come to nothing, so that
I remain now carelessly
with feet planted on the ground
and look up at the sky --
feeling my clothes about me,
the weight of my body in my shoes,
the rim of my hat, air passing in and out
at my nose -- and decide to dream no more.
