if in a dream
I am speaking
to a coliseum
and in addressing
the crowd
I lean forward
and feel a wetness
on my cheek
a spot of drool
from the corner of my mouth
white spots
on blue the pillows
I have no excuse
lazy lips, maybe
of course, my big mouth
but when your face
in sleep
searches for the back of my neck
you are awaken
and promptly grossed
out
