"URBAN RIVER DREAM

I dream of swimming in asphalt
like blind fish in caves.

All my life my feet thud against
black tar and gray concrete.

The underground fish own a grace
and focus we are not permitted,

following endless roads with their dual
currents and striped yellow lines.

We have built their tracks.
Above them, we crash into accidents.

Do fish have accidents? I caress hard
surfaces, dark iceless layers.

We cannot break through
with our measured reckless steps.

While we dream, in what darkness
do they spawn? If we only knew

what the fish know. Our dreams
lead us under daily barriers beneath

our feet. We swim free there,
only to be saved, brutal hooks

yanking us back
to the surface."
