When the Sphinx Comes to Play

i had a dream
that a sphinx came to me as i slept
WHAT HAS FOUR LEGS IN THE MORNING
TWO LEGS AT NOON
AND THREE LEGS IN THE EVENING?
i knew
a human, a human, a human
WHAT HAS FOUR LEGS IN THE MORNING
FOUR LEGS AT NOON
AND FOUR LEGS IN THE EVENING?
it's okay to crawl when one cannot walk.
EXCUSES! EXCUSES! THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY IF ONE REMEMBERS THERE ARE RUNNERS AROUND THEM.
and then it was gone
and i was surrounded once again.
