Dreaming with a Red Hat

 I’m out on the streets 

while the shadows are still long 

trying to recapture thoughts and dreams 

that disappeared before the dawn.

There was a hallway that went nowhere

and I was never there. 

There was the smell of urine 

lingering in the air 

while liberals, Catholics, Freemasons, and Jews

were rewriting the dictionaries

that you disdain to use. 

Someone somewhere

had barricaded the church-house doors. 

Was this dream mine, or is it yours?

All these codes and signs 

read more like yours than mine. 

A thousands words of poison and deceit. 

A thousand words of fraud and treachery. 

And so it seems

I will be stuck,

At least for a time,

with all your distressing dreams.
