Conclusions on Nothing

I just woke from a dream
in which I lost a friend
who meant a great deal to me.

And now I'm trying to figure out what it meant.

I'm no sage,
I'm no monk,
but I have to conclude nothing.

It means only that I had a dream.
It is in and of itself,
and nothing ever seems to have meaning 
in and of itself.

But now, look,
the damn thing has inserted itself
into a poem
and into my thoughts.

So once again
I have to conclude
that nothing I know of
is ever in and of itself.
