Synthetic Dreams

You dream of a pear cut into eight unequal pieces. The knife stops at each hard seed. A woman pushes the largest piece under the kitchen table, and a child's hand reaches out for it. You are nowhere in the room. Nevertheless, when the woman says, “Don't tell your father,” you want to keep the secret. You wake with your own hand extended beneath your workbench.
