Its pleasure,
Leave no path untaken.

1878 Dark Jar Tin Zoo
I had a dream about you. You looked like you, but you also looked like a mannequin. And I looked like me, but I also looked like a mannequin. Between the two of us, we were too fake even for Hollywood. And as such, we were forced to reside in Washington DC.

we kissed and laid.
By noontime’s hour
our love was made.
Like braided chains of crocus stems,
we lay entwined, I laid with them.

our bodies draping wearily,
we slept, I slept so lucidly,
with hopes to stay this memory.

Normally, it takes people about 60 to 90 minutes to reach REM sleep, so they wouldn’t enter this stage during a 20 minute nap. People with narcolepsy often enter REM sleep soon after falling asleep.

I cannot get to sleep tonight.
I toss and turn and flop.

I slept just fine at school.

Never assume you are alone, because you never truly are. Only when your life has surely ended and your loved ones have forgotten you is when you are gone. Gone from this world and the next.

4910 Amanda Joy Bruns
