dream

i had a dream we were together
and that you were upset with me, in an unreasonable way

i chased after you, down four flights of carpeted stairs, in an old-fashioned movie theater
trying to make it better

this is not the first dream i've had like this
my tempest in a teacup

-

this is something i want, i think
to calm someone's seas
to ride someone's storm

it has always been my tendency
