When we sleep


I prepare chicken for 
dinner as we are entertaining
this evening. As my wife 

attempts to wake the 
garden from its long winter 
slumber, a train slowly rumbles

into the station across
the end of our garden. I
raise my head briefly. The 

11:20 from London is full with 
people - people who know 
nothing of us, nothing of 

who we are, where we came 
from - our hopes and dreams
and of the places we go to...

when we sleep.
