You Can’t Touch the Forest For the Trees

His book review asked
A rhetorical question:
“What’s losing a little sleep
Versus waking up

From the last dream you will have?”
Oh my friend, oh reviewer,
Oh true believer

In an anthropomorphic
Caricature of nature,
Lose all the sleep that you can.

You will still wake up,
And you can’t retain the dream.
The dream retains you.
You’re something a dream might do.
