Read Poem: DREAMS ARE DANGEROUS by Armando Pandola

Dreams are dangerous
They make you see green lights
on distant docks
that fade in the fog of reality.
They make you believe Old Sport,
of course you can change the past.
They keep you asleep through the
dangerous night when you should be alert
and while they may make you better than
all of the rest of that dreamless crowd,
they will leave you alone in a cold pool
on a chilly morning to face the consequences
to stare at the man with the gun
unblinking
and take your punishment for having
dreamed
too much
too long
too morrow
old sport.
