In Dreams

I'm recycling a poem originally published on 3 November 2020. Apologies for missing my appointed rounds during the last two weeks. I'm working on multiple projects including formatting my forthcoming poetry book, December Mood. 

I have finally been approved for disability. I now need to visit with an accountant and I need to call Medicaid. It would be just like the welfare system in the U.S. to screw me by proclaiming that I'm getting "too much money" from SSDI to continue getting Medicaid. The cutoff for Medicaid is $1100 a month and SSDI is going to be giving me $1300 per month. If I have to get insurance, the SSDI payment will be reduced to $900 per month because insurance is damn expensive. 

Anyway, here's the poem.

Today's prompt: 

Write a dream poem, a nightmare poem, or both.

This poem was inspired by my favorite Beyonce song, Sweet Dream.
