For the give and take between reality and dreams. In this poem, she is a mime, and it is an imagined glass. #amazonlink to The Best of It: New and Selected Poems by Kay Ryan (p.54) https://amzn.to/3dmuDzn. 


from "How Successful Can She Afford to Be?" / by Kay Ryan

if it left a ring,
if she could

passing a thing
out of the dream?
