The bad dream people
are the kings and queens of my nightmares because
I know they have power over me
because I give them power
over me
by shrinking under their glance
as they pass by.
Why do I do that? I know
if I want to be safe from someone all I must do
is assert myself. And yet
night after night I let
these people
somnolently
step on my heart.
I guess
I think they are really important
and I would rather they notice me badly
than not at all.
