lying asleep in bed
dreaming the same dream
all night long
dreaming that he is
naked and running
down streets he does
not recognize
that he has been
seduced by the pure
instinct of flesh
against pavement
pulling the world
from under his feet
he wakes up
to the sound of
running footsteps
going by outside
in front of his house
he puts on his
bathrobe and slippers
and goes to the window
but the street is empty.
he stands at the window
all night long
shifting his weight
from one tired leg
to the other.
