Dream

A small dilapidated shack— the wrong address.
Down the road, an eccentric building—
Wavy, curved walls,
A character a bit like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,
The wealthy owner,
Exasperated outside on the street,
At his workers taking a snack break,
Who begin vomiting packets of candy
In an exact, straight-edged line,
Like a painted road traffic line,
Across the street,
A stop street,
A barrier.

Just when you think there are no new images.
Have you ever seen someone vomit an exact, straight-edged line
Across the street, in packets of candy?
That is completely original.
I will fact-check this, but I’m pretty sure it is.
Would you ever have thought to think that?
The tension between chaotic, sour vomiting,
And an orderly, straight-edged line of sweet packets of candy.
What balance!

And so, each mind opens a gate between here and there,
Manifesting to us its unique blessing.

Did my school friend shoot himself? (EP)?
As I contemplate this painting,
I am struck by his likeness in it.
Furthermore, the red paint—like blood—
Issues from the forehead,
Splattered in front of me,
As if on a camera lens.
