A Dream Event
We mill about the sloped end
of a sunny field where Chefs throw paper
airplanes back and forth like footballs.
A herd of bystanders trots down to join us.
The air is charged with anticipation –
an emergency or the county fair is about
to manifest.
Intellect is trained to reject
experience unless it can impose a context.
But dreams have context baked in,
even the one we nickname “waking life.”

I enjoyed the music of sloped/sunny and forth/footballs… there was a placid feeling. The shift in the second verse is tense with the unknown–and the talk of context and experience held water with me.
Oh, Mike, you’ve done it again! Love the “herd of bystanders trots down” – and absolutely, absolutely enjoyed “an emergency or the county fair is about/to manifest.” Also like “baked” at the end to close the chef circle!
