best dream ever

I had the sweetest cool dream 
last night, perhaps the best 
dream ever in fact 

I was at work 
and everyone there was 
pleased or punchy to welcome 
back their good ol' boy 

me 

yet 

unlike

...the rote work dream template, no
one was gave me given me
THING TO DO 

So

I was just a VISITOR 
in ol' work place! GO FISH
NO FETCH AMEN HOO HOO

It was pretty sweet, seeing all 
them (fake; dream) peeps, 
and all of the smiles 
and laughs they had 
they were winking and making 
symbolic remarks 

(right over my head VWOOSH, 
still, not bad) and I walked in the 
air by the sea (some fair) (not 
chowder or art and wine, but 
fine) while people who haven't 

met me in years  

all veered in to have some say, 
some shine and everyone kept 
on handing me FOOD 

(it's POISON FOOD DUDE DON'T 
EAT) mind said, but undermind said 
(DREAM-POISON food) so I ate 

my fill and I shat 

the bed

  1. sorry

    ...about that very last line. SHOCK TACTIC WARNING: false; didn't happen. The rest of the poem is exactly as dreamed, although not necessarily in that order. It was very interspersed, scene-shifts and dovetails. Dream logic, you know. It worked!

    Held together very well, but at one point (the poison part) I did grow wise to the fact. IT'S A DREAM, YO - MAYBE.

    Not wise enough to wake up, thankfully!
