dream #847: you don't know
...we’re in the same night class because you’re always late. you rush out at the end, and i search for you but i’m forever waylaid by distractions in the hall: the birthday parties for avon ladies, the little kids hooked on phonics, the woman married to john the baptist’s head who eats nothing but vegetables carved into tiny circus animals. i need to find you to tell you things i should have said a long time ago. your hair is white now, and the semester is almost over.
