Jumping Fences

Jumping fences in your dreams
you end up in your childhood neighborhood
before you left.
But it felt different, like you’d never gone
out into the world
Your worldview was a bike ride down to the corner,
you were only four
but you still remember
how the sun hit the sidewalk
and how people’s backyards would be arranged.
It was a different lifetime,
with a different lifestyle,
and the buildings looked so different from down there
all fenced in.
You ran through your home
and it was just like you left it
except there was no furniture and you were moving out.
It’s okay, it’s easier to play this way
so you blindfold each other and try to find one another.
Yet you ran out blind on the street
only to find yourself
waking up.
