“After the Enlightenment, the Laundry”

The garments in the laundry basket
Are part of my dream
As are you and I, the dream characters;
Who or what is there in the dream
External to the dreamer?
But we are too much in love
With the dream character 
We call ourselves
And so the dream continues,
Whether it is we who do the laundry
Or someone else.
