The Ampersand of Psychoanalysis

Ten daydreams
& a dozen nightmares
from that area of nowhere
known as nothing
We took that leap and never looked up
only down
no bungee cord,
no mountain climbing rope tied between us
it wasn’t so much bravery or bravado
that made us do it, but rather, naiveté
& laundered haste
sometime when you’re bored and so am I
 we should take out the old photo album
& try to find the ghosts, demons
& monsters in the subliminal fudge
