dreamland woes

I memorized the lines
I rehearsed certain scenes
But even tho I do auditions I
Am rarely in my dreams.


I fall asleep at night
Or wish upon a star
I wonder, as the dream unfolds,
Just who these people are.


Were they at cattle call?
I don’t want to seem a grouch
But sometimes I think my dreams are cast
On some casting couch.


Another dream has ended
And nowhere did I see
In the major roles or extra crowds
A dream role played by me.
