If You Dream of Me

If you dream of a tea cup then someone keeps you in a China
closet hidden in the attic, in a fallen house.

If you dream of a hammer then you are feeling joy about an upcoming
 death that is a surprise like winning the lottery at the cemetery.

If you dream of a seagull you are worried about the road falling
into a sinkhole during a hurricane while asteroids fall.

If you dream of a ballet slipper your memories
are starting to churn into tremors.

If you dream of a shark you are seeking a robot
chicken that can sing old Broadway show tunes.

If you dream of a wobbly table you believe
you will wake in Wonderland as the white rabbit.

If you dream of a dentist you are moss looking for north.

If you dream of a rowboat you want to buy
a townhouse in Atlantis and marry angry merfolk.

If you dream of me then you are wrong about where
 we met and why the specters in the room laughing with rolling thunder.

Hey all, here is day fourteen's poem. I actually wrote it last night on my phone, but didn't post it. I followed the prompt at NaPoWriMo.  Now, I just have to write one for today and I will be caught up.
