-- Mebbe youd like to contend with this one
Im getting tired
-- Youre joking
-- Nah
-- I cant
Theyre yours to contend with
for good reason
They occur to you
Not to me
-- Seems they never occur to you
-- And mebbe Im not receptive
We churn our butter differently
-- I dont think you make butter
-- So you want to be rude about it
-- Rude
I think not
Honest
I cant think
of
the last time you shared anything with me as absurd as I share with you
Im nearly a fuckin daily
-- I apologise Im sorry
Obviously I dont process things the
way you process them
You werent rude
-- Thank you
Im reaching out for a little help a little insight
I dont know what to make of it
Dont know what to make of waking
with it in my head to the extent I couldnt go back to sleep until I wrote it
down
It had me by the throat
It made me
And I dont know if its meaningful or
critical
-- Again
what was it
he sighed heavily
Sorry
Let
me redouble my effort
I heard you I just want to be
sure I heard exactly
what
you said
-- Itscrazy
Woke me
The words the sentence
was
Its a type of checkpoint youd
see in a fairy tale
-- Its a type of checkpoint youd see in a fairy
tale
-- Correct
-- Okay Its
as strange the second time as it was the first
Sorry
Checkpoint in a fairy tale
border
checkpoint Customs Border
patrol
Did you see
anything when you heard the words
-- Pitch black
Had the drapes thrown open last night No moon
Words unwound
in my ears
-- A type of fairy tale checkpoint
-- Its a type of checkpoint youd see in a fairy
tale
Wrote it down exactly as I heard
it
I think if it was any other
way itd been said that way
Its a type of checkpoint youd see
in a fairy tale I think its the only way
into its meaning
-- Jung says you turn dreams like a child turns
a ball in his hands The child babe never
saw a ball before
Hes utterly unfamiliar
I know you know
But Id really have to think on it
-- Not too hard
-- What do you make of it
It occurred to you
Remember what you were thinking
of just before or as you went to sleep
-- Im still physically uncomfortable when its
time to try to fall asleep
I dislike trying to go to sleep
I was icing my back to numb it so
I could ignore it falling asleep
Its like sprinting
to
fall asleep before I become too uncomfortable to fall asleep
-- So do you remember anything
-- An old girlfriend
kinda
Probably better to say we enjoyed
each other
I used her she used me but
neither one cared
Like Seegers Night Moves
-- Great song
-- Yeah
We joked it was our song
It was a good thing
But shes not a checkpointNot a
fairy tale by any stretch of the
imagination
-- Though she might have been the point of
entry
Hence a checkpoint
-- Clever
And checkpoint Chess Check
A game Strategy
-- In a fairy tale
-- Junging it
as you suggested
Looking for a chink in the armour
-- I dont know
Happy it didnt occur to me
-- You said it
Rather a womans voice said it
-- That help
-- No
Whispered
like a secret
-- Doubling up perhaps Meant only for you
Occurred to you
Whispered to you
-- Yeah
Well
thanks
for hearing me out
If I was testy I didnt mean to be
-- No sweat
You gonna lemme know if you turn
it out
-- Yes
Hell yes
You
shared your time
-- Thats awright
Lotsa luck with it
HA
I
think Ive forgotten it already
-- Wasnt yours
Be cool
-- You too
he walked off
leaving him holding the
whispered bag of a fairy tale checkpoint
though he supposed why wouldnt a fantasy checkpoint exist
a mere extension of a real life checkpoint
blinkers realised and enforced
dreamers blinded
Law backing them
Because the Law has been so Just
hasnt it
Challenge
it civil disobedience dont do what they say to the letter
they
bring the house down on your head
and if They become fearful
fearful
of your challenge
Law can execute you
could
be why she whispered
