Dream of father and aunt

 My aunt had been working for a winery in a significant role.  I argued with my dad that this was inappropriate,  because my aunt had never tasted wine. He argued that this was irrelevant, did a cancer doctor need to have had cancer? Similar nonsensical arguments. I couldn't get him to see my point at all, nor could I understand his, and the argument turned quite heated. I guess you could work as an accountant for a winery without drinking wine, but her role there seemed more crucial. (Of course, both my father and his older sisters are no longer among the living; none of them drank,) 

Dream of a school / movie

 

I was in a school. The headmaster was stern, and fired a teacher for coming late. Then we were sitting at tables. I was a student and listening closely to what he said. I asked at one point if we were going to have classes or whether we were just sitting around talking all day. He said there would be classes. He had some aphorisms, like "Don't wait any longer" or "Do it now." We discussed it and I guessed the meaning was don't procrastinate. Another was about saying the best thing last, and I said that was about "recency." 

I was eager to know what movie we were in, because in this dream I was a participant in a movie, as myself. I wanted to watch the movie later to get all of the headmaster's ideas. There was a sticker on the door that said "Dark Sabbath," but that didn't seem the right genre. I went out the door unto the street and tried to ask people about what movie featured a school and charismatic headmaster. Nobody could tell me.

Toward the end, I realized I had to catch a train or bus in 15 minutes. I started sprinting down the street. A teacher, a woman in uncomfortable shoes, also had to catch the bus. I was wondering whether to slow down my running so we could go together.  Then I realized I was waking up from the dream and didn't have to rush. 

The pedagogical method seemed a good one: talk to people about ideas. Find solid general principles. The dream seemed to last a good part of the night, and I was making a solid effort to learn and to remember what I was being taught.  

Take these successive lines

No está en mí; está en el mundo; está ahi enfrente.

Necesita vivir entre las cosas. 

They are very different in their effect, but both have 11 syllables, metrically, with accents on three, six, and 10: 

No está en mí, está en el mundo; está ahí enfrente. 

Enjambment in Notley

 

Here the lines seem enjambed, but are really not, because the line break acts as a punctuation. 

"I dreamed you brought home a baby / Solid girl, could already walk / In blue corduroy overalls/ Nice and strange, baby to keep close / I hadn't thought of it before..."  

So she only needs punctuation in the middle of the lines. There is some true enjambment later in the poem "door / of building."  

The balance between continuity and the integrity of the line is ideal (for my ear).
