POEM: Faces & Places of My Dreams

By Berniegourley @berniegourley

POEM: Faces & Places of My DreamsI once read that one never dreams:
-a place one hasn't been, or
-a face one hasn't seen.

This is either false, or
I've been a lot of places:
-of which I've no waking recollection,
-which don't exist in my photos, and
-which no one ever asks me,
"Do your remember that place..."

I'm less confident that my mind generates faces -
except that I've dreamt featureless faces, and
I've sure never seen one of those while awake.

But, given that a blonde wig on a brunette actress is
- apparently -
enough to keep me from identifying her,
I can't be certain that I dream faces,
faces I've never seen in the real world -
and there have been oh so many faces.
