In my dream we had been parted
Through no fault of our own
This happens often in dreams
I was worried about you
And then I found a bicycle
A rainbow bicycle abandoned
Next to a tree and an abandoned fence
I borrowed this bicycle
As I wanted to find you
But as soon as I was aboard
I descended rapidly into the valley
A valley obscured by clouds
I found myself by the main gate
Of a large railway goods yard
To my right expresses thundered by
To the dark cities one and two
A porter greeted me and took my bicycle
Into the nesting rooms three and four
I was assured that it would be secure
In the distance a small shunting locomotive
Was being loaded on to a flat back lorry
It looked ill balanced to me and soon fell to the ground
The porter assured me that this was a common occurrence
Near the low fence a table had been set out for guests
This appealed to me as I loved fast trains cherry red
And liked to be near them as they screamed through stations
The porter and I sat a the maroon table and soon
We were joined by a female scientist of mellow years
She explained to me that if we were positioned two metres
From our occupation that our loves would be in danger
And that we would never live and produce future drivers
As she finished her sentence a purple bullet train screamed by
And for an instant I thought I saw you in carriage sic
I recognised your red print dress giverny green blue
You were also not wearing any underwear as you
Felt that it restricted you when visiting the fifth cities
But I had only spoken to you in a previous dream
And this confused me as when I had left you
The wind had been cool and you were wearing
Lavender scented panties and an octopus bra
We enjoyed our tea and watched the rapid trains
I was then taken on a conducted tour of the goods yard
It had seen better days and in parts was dilapidated
But there was a swimming pool and a coloured box
Which made up for some of the dereliction
I was told to close my eyes as I walked along
The six mile corridor left and right
When my visual freedom was restored
I was in the most splendid tea room in the universe
It was populated by people posh and the people pewter
My only question was why with all this neglect
Could such a tea room exist and obviously thrive
And then I was on the rainbow bicycle one more
I was cycling towards the seventh hill which was very steep
Its gradient troubled me as it was almost sheer
But I was not alarmed as the bicycle started to float
And soon very soon I was at the flop top summit clear
You were waiting for me in your eighth dress
I asked you about your underwear and you slapped me
And told me that I should not discuss intimate items
When in mixed company and especially in the presence of shunting engines
I explained that I had missed you and was very worried about you
You then responded with a kiss and suggested that we should ride tandem
On the rainbow bicycle which I had found abandoned in my ninth dream
