Who are Mr. Sleep and Mr. Dream? (An Experimental Sonnet)
Pray, who are Mr. Dream and Mr. Sleep
Who different look between a peep and peep?
Can dream a wizard be who, with his wand
Conjures up a weird and mystic land?
Or is he one of Aesop’s proxy cousins
sent to reel off fables in their dozens?
Or could he be a fortune-telling prophet
Pulling out our future from his pocket?
And who is Sleep? A tramp who’s lost his way -
Come to us within our minds to stay
And rest awhile awaiting dawn of day?
Or is he Peace - of Strife perchance born -
Or just a blank sheet from Void torn?
Or is he Death’s foetus still unborn?
