In this dream

I am ten -
playing pool with
myself in a local
pub
that no longer
exists
my parents
somewhere
wear swimming trunks
and sip
beers with the neighbors’
volleyball team
one ball, corner pocket
and the room
dims
into sharp blackness
while I
evaporate
into white
glare
blind
I
hear
everything
at once
in a
song -
that
is surely
the voice of God.
