I was in a Chinese restaurant
trying to read the menu
when I realized Hunan
was only 1 letter off of Human
I thought it read Chicken Human
This was just in a dream, so I ordered it
It was delicious, but kind of salty
Then someone at another table said
Boy, we're all really
just a bunch of salted nuts, aren't we?
I actually found myself nodding my big
human head in agreement
and found myself scratching under my feathers
when I realized I had wings
Went on realizing
even more about myself
Started a whole new class in self realization
I looked around at the others in my situation
We were perched in boxes
giving birth to ourselves
saying What? Wha…a…at? Wha…a…at?

Great dream. So many possible interpretations. fv*
Made me laugh out loud, Jerry. *
Consider Dream Group.
Wonderfully comical. I love:
"Boy, we're all really
just a bunch of salted nuts, aren't we?"
Effectively bizarre.
GREAT idea, Jerry! Fly even farther!
This is like a dream. As a reader and now dreamer I feel both lost and found.
