more bad dreams, Dr Freud

Hurrying to drafting class
forgetting much needed pants

five free lessons, low-flying plane
clipping tree-tops in blinding rain

deadbeat Congress renews gravity funds
unsuspecting geese nose-dive to ponds

newly plastered hearth tilted and sunk
building permit forged by unscrupulous monk

hoisting sudsy pint to lips
white line weave with a halt and a skip

longing for a kiss ordained
amorphous amorous, a lopsided aim

Dr Freud died on this day in 1939
