In last night’s
only remembered dream
my left foot was nailed to the driveway.
There was curiously no pain or blood
and this morning all I notice is a residual numbness
in the little and next-to-little toes. That’s all —
that, and a despair that comes
from walking in a small circle
for long cold hours in the dark.
If other things happened,
if I had better dreams,
of them I am unaware;
every time I am in this dream
I go around myself all day afterward
trying to understand it.

You either have a desire to be a desk globe, or you feel like your life is going in circles and your trapped.

Not me. The speaker in the poem has an issue, but that’s not the same as me having one.

Oh dear, I was just teasing you a bit. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
