i dream

i dream a thousand interconnected pictures. i dream the future. i dream we are together. i dream i love you. i dream i am forgiven. i dream you care. i dream nice dreams. i go to the bank. i deposit my check. i pay the rent. i pet the cat. i wash the dishes. i dream of more. i dream of ease. i dream of a car. i dream of a parking sport with my name. i dream of a cubicle. i dream i am needed. i dream the world can't go on without me. i dream my wound heals. i dream i don't need to lick the wound. i dream my wound is everyone's wound. i dream we are in this together. i dream we are sorry for hurting each other. i dream i am above it. i dream in ethics. i dream in black and white. i dream a pleasing pink haze. i dream forty forties. i dream a stack of money, a manuscript, a bottle of whiskey, a bag of cocaine, some marijuana for the come down in a suitcase i'm allowed to take with me in case of emergency. i dream i am let through airport security with my emergency suitcase. i dream i am like you. i dream you are no better than me. i dream we can understand each other. i dream the university is for education. i dream propaganda is educational. i dream being a teacher is ethical. i dream we can learn from what happens. i dream i'm not a grizzly bear. i dream i don't like innards. i dream i don't need more red for my poems. i dream the canvas never ends. i dream i can find the words. i dream the noise stops as long as i am dreaming.
