Adding a plausible suspect to the lacunae

another dream in which I woke up
because I forgot something in the dream
a fellow worker
specialized in studying
the work of a French poet
I could not remember
the name of the poet
when I woke up
I thought
it's Verlaine
but then was suspicious
as if I was just filling in the blank
to make myself feel better
adding a plausible suspect
to the lacunae
