In the dream I am in my underwear
and we are in a crowded public square
this time of year, this going back to school
time we are all of us in our underwear
in our dreams looking down, wondering
why we left the house like that? wondering
what it means to feel so exposed
wondering when will we ever grow out
of this feeling of being new? and judged,
like produce, like livestock.
