Pleasant Dreams

If my dog is dreaming with me,

does he see the same things i see?

How can i ever find out

what he is dreaming about?

In dreams he is scratching a flea

but there are no fleas on me.

I dream i am eating ice cream.

He doesn’t interrupt my dream.

Is that what togetherness is

when we are together like this?

His dreams are his; mine are mine.

Having separate dreams is fine.

Does Pedro think about me

while he is scratching a flea?
