I dreamed I once lived in a stone somewhere near the sea and my voice had a clown’s tone but there's no sound when I tried to scream with a woman standing next to my cradle I tried to memorise what she said then her body moved into the shadow and dropped a box on a table I dreamed I was once a monkey in the zoo next to my home I was hungry and alone with a weird pain in my bones with a tree branch at the middle of my crate I climbed to its top and wait for the sun to go down so I can escape this lonesome one day. I dreamed of my friend dying next to a light pole in the street I dreamed of a group of children marching in the city roads like an army I dreamed of a bus driving over people like they are ants I dreamed of myself screaming at a puddle in the rain
