Sodium Toothpaste

The bar was full

               in the basement of my mind

and i read the manual, my buddy hunched over on a

stool beside me.

“it’s a cinch he said”

not really, though, because people don’t speak in dreams.

(i ascribe to them 50‘s slang expressions)

my beer was magically empty

and others were magically full

studying alien life forms

in this book

this manual

and wanting to puke.

dreaming is stressful

and so is life.

where is the best place to hang

a bathrobe?

MMXI

I've been sleeping in my bathroom, on cushions from my sofa pressed up between the toilet and my shower because my futon is infested with bed bugs and the traffic is too loud in the main room. Needless to say, this is a very relaxing life situation. Since I'm unemployed, I train for imaginary jobs in my sleep with my childhood friend... superb.
