The Dream

by Jayme L Helmick

Interpretations of
cascading dreams
Blinding performances
of unspent youth
A rhythm older
than time
A liturgy of strange
disturbances
Such a spectacle
of gyration
Freud would have
a field day
Thrusting accompaniment
Love that music
I don't believe it -
Paul Newman
in his prime!

Author's Note: I wrote this my junior year of college and it was in the 1999 publication of Reflections, the literary magazine of my college. It was based on an actual dream that a friend had, and she was silly enough to have told me about it!

If it made Reflections then it must be good. Just pickin! Great job of course. Bizarre. The whole college experience, a lifetime ago and a lifetime in itself.
