I had a preying mantis and walking stick. Someone put them together in a bird cage and they faught, I found them alive but with no appendages. I gave them to Brad Pitt and soon after he died. I spent the rest of the night, dream to dream, telling people I'd killed Brad Pitt and dreading the consequences.

An obese woman on a hospital bed after I'd inserted a metal catheter, bolts and all. We were moving her to a gurney to be carried off by helicopter. We flopped her on the gurney, ignoring her screams and physical resistence. We strapped her in without any protection from the cold but a hospital gown.

I hiked a hill and found the summit was entirely muddy shallow water. I walked through the water to catch a view but was swept up in a current towards a ledge. Accepting this fate, I closed my eyes and went over, calm as I fell, soft landing near shore. I climbed out onto a curb near a line of shops.

...I was walking with you down a school corridor and the power went out. You scurried around the corner quite unexpectedly forward and away from me. I shouted that I was lonely then, when you did not answer, I returned to the classroom from which we had originally emerged. I had tasks to complete but I did not know where to begin.


I can only think that it was you Gig. Where did you go? Death does not suit you. But then, you always wore ill´fitting suits.

...I was involved in care of an ugly baby curly blond hair size changing, sick with complications: inflating head drooling diarrhea, welts, trach secretions. Rubbed fragile body with thick Ativan paste. Called 911 despite mother's indifference. Failed rescue, admonished EMS for poor communication.

I was walking along a meandering river, a disturbance becoming a frenzy of  pink "salmon" leaping, parading on the bank in groups, ranging in size: some of them like furless mammals. Fishermen in overalls threw fodder from hay trucks. I was concerned about the imbalanced ecosystem.

..I was working as a bartender and had been asked to make a cocktail of soy sauce and vinegar in a large glass. When I added the drops of soy sauce they formed swirling dust clouds and then solidified into rocks that stuck together and formed islands with vegetation. I thought I might become famous.
