Dream

by Jaz Poet

I imagine her 

three letters only 

standing in between 

the featured 

the forewarded 

the contributed 

the selected 

the special-guested 

In between 

the 

unpronounceable 

intelligent 

scholarly 

the 

Award-winning 

artistically intimidating 

hyphenated 

multi-syllabled 

the  

shame-on-me-I-should-know-that-name-but-don’t 

Holding  

her  

own.
