NO GAME PLAN
for Carole
No game plan -- but I dreamt of moving to Washington to be with you.
No game plan -- but I dreamt the four of us would go to the zoo.
No game plan -- but I dreamt of travelling with you to distant shores.
No game plan -- but I dreamt of helping you with household chores.
No game plan -- but I dreamt of buying Misha glasses.
No game plan -- but I dreamt of helping Nicholas in his classes.
No game plan -- but I dreamt of our opening a Dharma center.
No game plan -- but I dreamt that the boys might want a mentor.
No game plan -- but I dreamt of making tender love for as long as the sky is blue.
No game plan -- but I dreamt of sharing all I had with you.
I was the only one who dreamt all of this, it seems.
So for the record, I say now: Here, behold my dreams.
Washington, D.C.
