I'd wake up screaming every night
to protect me from the donkey dream
if that was how it worked at all.
It isn't, though, as we have seen.
You'll lie there, dreaming normally
when suddenly, off to the side
the donkey's there. No argument.
Too real to move, or tame, or ride.
So when you wake, you'll scrape
your conscience patiently; subconscious,
too. Dig. Root around to find: What put
that donkey here? What does it mean?
Is it a sign? Or is the donkey
you
