Parents Don't Dream
January 13, 2013
My parents don’t dream.
They used to,
But then they forgot how.
Sometimes
They think they’ve dreamt,
But then they realized,
That there is no
Such thing as dreams,
When the world
Gives you an icy shoulder,
To lean on
Indefinitely.
They know
They don’t dream,
Because schedules
Don’t have a time slot
For dream fulfillment.
Dreams are only
A cruel,
Short lasting dream.
Maybe parents
Dream to dream.
