Disclaimer Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

Inside the content of my dream
I profess to tell the truth
but this is not intended for you
to uphold with a sense of pride
my dream comes to me
with eyes closed unconsciously
so it is not my fault
if you strive to follow me
just bear in mind
I express morbid thoughts
with an effortless skip of a heartbeat
and a sense of paralysis
so it may be idiopathic
for all I know
but it is up to you to follow
just remember
I profess to tell the truth
and I linger long enough
to decipher
the content of my dream
and if my thoughts become morbid
I eschew
only what I think I knew.
