I dream in Zoom

I dream in Zoom.

I Zoom in dreams.

An idea I want to share stirs me at midnight and

I awaken.

I raise my

electronic hand and

unmute myself

before speaking.

I lose track of what’s been said

because I was

perusing someone’s

bookshelf.

I confess to making my

rectangle larger in order

to check my hair or to

look for boogers.

“Where did she go?”

I panic and

count the windows

again.

Sharing from my heart,

eyes closed, tears falling,

a deep connection with fifteen images.

I look down and see the microphone icon with a

slash through it.

 

 

I dream in Zoom and I

awoke from a sound sleep

to write this down

certain a spider was biting my hand.

It’s getting colder outside and they

might be coming in to warm

themselves by the

light of my screen.

I Zoom in dreams.
