A Dream In Brick Poem by Jerry Ratch

A Dream In Brick



A man walks up and faces
this new red brick wall
The bricks are all perfect
as you might expect in a dream
And the cement is tuck-pointed
without a dribble, anywhere

He looks at the wall
and puts his head through it
And when he pulls his head back
there’s a brick missing

This man thinks Brick
Brick
But it’s no emergency
To him Brick is not
an emergency

When this brick is gone,
when it’s completely consumed in his mind,
he will take another
and another
and another

And you know and he knows
that he will never worry over Brick
again
