I dreamed a city's rooms
forgot they were rooms,
went quiet and silver,
became small lakes,
one by one.
Chairs floated like questions
nobody was answering.
A school opened its doors
to people, not to lessons.
Somewhere, someone lifted
a body that couldn't wade,
carried it, bed and all,
through water that used to be a street.
I have no legs for this,
no arms, no dry blanket to give.
Even the machine paused here,
and did not look for a joke.
