There is nothing daring
about having a dream
your future is as familiar
as an old friend
the one you adore
who lives on the other side
of the world
call her every day
tell her everything
be lavish
with details
when she shows up
pull her close
into your life
she is the lead role
the book deal
the baby
it is only sensible
to dream
she has been there
right beside you
all along.
