As I was crossing the street,
a truck hit me.
When I opened my eyes,
I saw bright lights,
a beautiful open garden,
flowers of all colors blooming,
butterflies and bees
enjoying themselves.
Someone gave me delicious food,
then took me to my room.
A huge bed stood before me.
I lay down and slept.
After a while,
I woke up—
surrounded by
a swarm of cockroaches.
“Where am I?
Who are you?” I asked.
One of them said,
“You are in heaven,
and we are the cockroaches
you killed while you were alive.”
“What? I’m dead?” I asked.
“Yes,” they said in unison.
“Now that you are here,
we will take revenge,
eat you alive,
little by little.”
“No!” I screamed
and woke up.
Little Blue, staring at me curiously,
asked, “What happened?”
“I had a cockroach dream,” I said.
“What’s new?” it said.
“You always have weird dreams.”
