In my dreams there are faces of people,
Men and women whom I watch,
As they adventure over landscapes
Beyond reality, hovering on the scope
Of my imagination.

When consciousness returns, they
Disappear.
Who were they, these nighttime
Crusaders—these familiar people
With unfamiliar faces?

They could have been:
The fashionable girl on the platform,
The beleaguered man I bumped into,
An anonymous face among the masses,
Who snuck their way into my mind.
