Analysis
Annie asks me to help interpret
her best friend’s, Ryan’s, dream,
which is just a trick I picked up
a decade or so ago- basic symbols-
any literature major could do it.
It’s fun in the same way that
analyzing a poem is fun.
You look at the whole, then
you take it apart- each noun
is just a symbol, each action
a parallel action, each adjective
A significant clue to the cypher.
I look for patterns- vines and
windowless rooms- someone
feels trapped. It’s the same
in the waking world. Who doesn’t?
