[dreem] (verb)

To aspire

hallucinate

hope

that something

heavenly will happen.

To wish

for a better future

a better present

a better outcome,

even when what one sees

is not what one

wants to be seeing.

Did you see my mark?

Marc asks for maybe the hundredth time.

And my goal?

It was awesome!

I try to look enthusiastic

but really I am thinking

about my team’s game this afternoon

and how they won.

Without me.

Dad says you’re gonna umpire us

next week.

That’s awesome!

It seems that

in Marc’s world

everything is awesome

just like that annoying song

out of his favourite movie.

He’s smiling at me

like he’s sure I’ll agree.
