Im havin a hard time rememberin my
dreams he fessed to himself because heHe was always listenin alwaysalways
listenin in watchin
he used to think He was
curious a voyeur
he thinks now Hes an eavesdropper an
interloper who lacks perception seemingly
is unwilling to provide feedback
His 2
cents
when he wakes there are thin stains
smeared on the facethe edge of his consciousness vague shadows telltale impressions presences dreamed who didnt sign the ledger when they entered
they didnt stumble around they were
purposeful
although
he couldnt understand themdidnt recognise their clues or purpose or intent their intricacies were helter skelter he couldnt
pull their strands or threads or gather their ends together
his
dreams were peopled with characters he didnt recognise he didnt care for which wasnt uncommon even dreaming of people he knew would have
been uncommon
their confusionthe clutch of people the purpose seemed only to complicate his dreams mire him
mornings he woke up laughing recognising the abysmal futility of trying to get
ahold of something that would elude him
he felt his usual wakened
labyrinth was being cooptedwas feeding these new subversive labyrinths of milling
unknown people that he sidestepped or pushed throughwent past their beings and words
he was rudehe offered no excuses
they thought they were important
they were tedious
he was contemptuous he avoided the obstacles they laid in his path
moving through them he negotiated
their pitfallstheir hairpin turns he was
confident that on the other side of their busyness and melee there were the
quiet sinuous turns reminiscent of his wakened labyrinthhis usual sleeping
labyrinth sleek like vaginal folds slick an smoothwalled
he imagined rosewater
and followed its current
water rosewater always sought the path of least resistance
and that reminded him to be who
he was
he believed in the water of his indomitable
spirit
