The Woman on My Bed in a Dream

She was there with her older parents
at my apartment.

I used to work with Medicare, doing
presentations all over the county I live in,
Guilford County, NC.,

and I was trying to explain how Medicare works
to her parents, but they weren’t getting it.

I told them they should call SHIIP, Seniors’
Health Insurance Information Program,
that I used to work for.

I try to type the information on my keyboard
but my keyboard is messed up showing
sentences instead of words.

Her parents go out to their car while
she’s there waiting for the information
that I’m having trouble accessing.

I become keenly aware of her on my bed sitting
close to me.

I’m surprised, and though it’s not an erotic
feeling, I’m liking her being that close to me,

and just as I’m really liking her being there,
I wake up with only a memory of the lovely woman
on my bed and how nice it felt having her so near me.
