Dreams of Old Plastic Doll House Furniture

Always,
there are recurrent house dreams.

Many rooms,
crowded with people and goings on.
But what's with
the recurrent dollhouse furniture dreams?

Better than the recurrent dreams of dad any day.

But why dollhouse furniture?

Tiny 40's/50's plastic high chairs and cribs.

Little chests of drawers.

Tables and chairs.

Pastel pink, yellow, blue and white.

Little furniture,

discovered shining

in soft rays of light,

hidden treasures

in an old dark Victorian,

up stairs in dusty attics

or back storage rooms.

I don't remember having these toys,

but wouldn't it have been wonderful?

If these house dreams

could come true?

In control

over a household of my own.

Annie Oakley would be shooting it up outside!

And there would be dogs, too.
