DO YOU KNOW WHAT 1962

A BOY AND GIRL TALK OF THEIR DREAMS IN 1962

Do you know what
Yehudit said
I dreamed of you last night
dreamed you were in my room

in my bed
and that you
made love to me
even though my sister

slept some feet away
did I
I said
I wish I shared your dream

I dreamed of Miss G
playing that Beethoven piece
to me
that piece

she often plays in class
to get us bored
my dream was best
Yehudit said

we made love often
into the night
even though my sister
slept so deep

your dream was best
I said
my dream was just a bore
of Beethoven played

by Miss G for me
Yehudit and I
then made our way
down to the pond

and sat and watched
ducks and dragonflies
skim the water
as the sun shone down

on our heads
and we both wished
we slept
in each other's beds

and shared
the same dreams
but nothing is what we want
or what seems.
