THE DREAM

I had the weirdest dream. I dreamed we were married again.

You talked a lot. You kept saying things like this is realistic.

When I woke up, I started reading all my old diaries.

I thought you hated diaries.

I keep them when I’m miserable. Anyway,

all those years I thought we were so happy

I had a lot of diaries.

Do you ever think about it? Do you ever wonder

if the whole thing was a mistake? Actually,

half the guests said that at the wedding.

I’ll tell you something I never told you:

I took a valium that night.

I kept thinking of how we used to watch television,

how I would put my feet in your lap. The cat would sit

on top of them. Doesn’t that still seem

an image of contentment, of well-being? So

why couldn’t it go on longer?

Because it was a dream.
