WHERE DREAMS COME FROM

Helen says she is dreaming more recently. She’s not exactly happy about it, but I think this will explain it:

WHERE DREAMS COME FROM

When you have lived four score years

and two

there is not enough room

in your brain

for all the memories, so

they are parceled out

to other places in the body

Big toe memories are so different

from those of the pancreas.

Rotator cuff memories are not

at all like left nostril memories

When you sleep the body parts

compete to see whose memories are

best. We call those contests

Dreams.

John Robert McFarland
