Stalemate

I woke from a dream
Laid in bed still
I shaved and stared
Into the mirror, I think
I showered, soaped and rinsed
I can't stop thinking
Of my dream.

While walking along a street
A man in work clothes
Blue pants, light blue shirt
Walked ahead of me
I'm unable to see his face.

We walked in the same direction
He entered into a house
Quiet as a mouse
Stealthily
From room to room
I followed, floating beind.

Never saw his face
He entered the bathroom
I suddenly realized
It was my house.

That very instant
He stopped, stood still
Sensing someone behind him,
Sensing, he was a burglar
I did not advance.

I woke
Leaving myself trapped
Within a dream
In a stalemate.
