last night i had the strangest dream
that nothing was really what it seemed
i threw my old dog fred a ball
but he did not answer when i called
instead he turned and looked askance
and asked me, would you like to dance?
fred, i said, you know me well
but there are things i must never tell
we toss a ball around a park
but there are things which must stay dark
you have your secrets, i have mine
let us play while the sun still shines
fred fixed me with a glacial eye
and something deep within me died
i woke, and gave a happy shout
and wondered, what was that about?
