Hi TqB,
I'd happily read the whole thing just for these lines
just across the dirt road
that borders this dream
lies Mexico.
but not that often. The rest seems rather flat, to me, slight paradoxes, random, dream-like changes of focus, but lacking in anything particularity nauseating, or newsworthy. There's a lot of 'I am this' and 'I am that', but it doesn't seem to build to anything vaguely climactic.

The 'dirt road' lines seem to promise an examination of what is America/the America dream these days, but perhaps that's a whole 'nother poem.

I suppose the "flatness" is because this is a transcription of a couple of dreams that I had during a time when my wife and I were going through a series of fertility treatments while trying to concieve our first child.  I won't go into the gory details and can only refer you to the scene early in the film Raising Arizona wherein Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter are sitting in the doctor's office being lectured by a doctor on reproduction.

I thought perhaps it would be interesting to others, but maybe not.  I guess it is what it is.
