The Truth
by
Robert K. Johnson

My dreams dismiss
mere facts, disprove
I live in a house,

show me I live
in an airport
or railway station

walled in shadows
where I spend hours
asking strangers

to help me find
the plane or train
that will take me

to a place
waiting to provide
everything I want,

though my dreams
never reveal
where that place is.
