we feel cheated because dreams never have a natural ending
they just fade into a new day
at 2:43pm he bites his nail
and tastes this mornings toothpaste
and all he can think about is a stain on his carpet which gets bigger in his mind

of his kids
growing up with a name and a faint memory
people always look for the geometry in the familiar and feel confusion when the supermarket rearranges itself
