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.
