Dream Sonnet 1

I sometimes have the strangest little dreams.
Dreams filled with backwards parts of normal things.
People and places I cannot erase,
Actual instances do interlace.

We hunted buffalo out on a plain.
Shoplifting and seeing tracks for a train.
My neighborhood looks diff'rent but precise.
The tropics I have inhabited twice.

A Barbie doll movie premier gone wrong
‘Cause I wore a pantsuit, my hair wasn't long,
The dogs made the hotel burst into flames,
And he hated what his father became.

My mind wishes not what my heart wants true
They will forever be fighting o'er you
