I dream of Napoleon and hope
that Napoleon dreams of me
but suspect that he has other things to do
being an emperor and an exile and dead.

He probably has many people reporting to him
and has limited supplies

now that he is on a secured island
and has been rotting for over two hundred years now
(I hope someone celebrated somehow in Two Thousand and Twenty One!).

I do think it would be nice if the Emperor would think of me
in some capacity, after I went to all the trouble of dreaming about him,
but I’d hate to be a bother.

If you could perhaps put the notion to him?
I’d be ever so appreciative.

Thanks – and if I could ever return the favor,
just let me know!
