WHY COPS DO NOT UNDERSTAND DREAMS

I have been caught
In a traffic jam
The cacophony of the horns blaring
Drivers..swearing
At each other
Traffic cop confused...

As I adjust the rearview
I see a young girl
Riding pillion
Whispering something to her man.

I can hear the words
I thought you said to me
That registered in my heart
Blazing past my consciousness
Into my dreams.
Where I find you

I 'Fined' you
Said the cop
You have been caught
Causing a traffic jam..

The cacophony of the horns blaring
Drivers...swearing at me
Bring me out of my reverie
The cop is not amused, tells me
To move aside and pay up, or else
Come to the police station

I know now why there are no cops
and police stations in my dreams
because in the dreams
there are no traffic jams

only you and your love
jamming everything else
but tell me
why cops do not understand dreams
