A large cat had paws run over. Picked it up and held it close to put pressure on the wounds. I carried it into a neighborhood box apartments; fronts open to the street. A woman on a large bed with several children claimed the cat. I offered her the cat. A brown liquid leaked out all over the sheets.

Went to a "video" store. There were bins full of small machines that you hooked up to your body and a movie would play infront of your eyes. I tried one that attached to the thumb.

Stopped at an intersection in a crime-ridden area of the city with my boyfriend. People trying to get into the car or looking forlorn outside the windows. A young man climbed in the back seat. His aunt was on the phone admonishing him for being a murderer. We took him home anyway.

Some friends abandoned me at a conference and I had to find a cab. Phones in the facility were impossible to operate. A stranger loaned me his cell phone but it unfolded like a giant map with  unfamiliar icons and different instructions for each section. I cried.

Holding on to a large cat I climbed through sand dunes, then across tables covered with house and furniture parts at an indoor construction site. Then a glass door opened on to a street. I let the cat go because I knew where I was since a marqui read "this is where Mary was killed by a mad grocer"

...I was doing a load of laundry, but the laundry was turning to slime and the pile was growing bigger and people were pouring in to the basement, they looked relaxed. The pile was now full of carburetors and grenades and other mechanical devices. I screamed a vulgar phrase over and over.

The home I was living in had large glass walls overlooking an orchard full of peaches the size of basketballs. Hyenas frolicked under the canopy. I was taking a test identifying varieties of bees based on their abominal patterns which were each complex and colorful designs. I kept spilling things.
