In my dream yesterday

I rode the world to get to you

on the seat of my

three-wheeled tandem bicycle.

Your road stood empty

on that divided highway:

two-lanes in either direction

like the blood type separating the two of us.

I cycled countless miles

to realize I was headed

in the wrong direction,

and turn around to see

that the only other car

on the barren freeway

was a policeman

who does not stop me.

I arrive at your place

beside the corner gas station

just before the lightening struck

where the three of us made love

and refuse to say good-bye.
