This Little Dream O’ Mine”
Sometimes, Mon, God, she
a bitch, Mon, and she has wants:
Like get up And Write!*
- (1:24 a.m. October 5, 2017. Just pissed enough to make sure to get the date and time “stamped.” Dream sequence which later attributed Mon’s name as “Jeffy” after a science/fiction mil/fic yarn which deposited the following gem: “Hey, Jeffy, we’s got to win. The man: he must win every single time or we win. All we got to do is win once!” in the midst of a zombie-filled dream I hated to leave because it had such a fine antecedent and I was not sure I yet retained the ability to drive to the next dream on-ramp and resume my travels. And, now, typing this the imagery flashes across my four- (or is it five-?) head screen and says: just you wait until tonight!)
“Wonders And Glories”
small wonders i see
great glories often i touch
and then i wake up
“He Does That To Me Sometimes”
God woke me to say
‘I’m not done with you just yet:
quit feeling sorry!’
“With Just A Little Help…” Tanka 155
The reason I keep
notebook and pen right beside
where I go to sleep
is to charm the snake that keeps
waking me up with my* thoughts!
*(substitute ‘its’ or ‘your’ in place of ‘my’?)
“With A Little Help”
God woke me to say
‘I’m not done with you, just yet
so quit lookin’ low*’!
*(this and the next’un are about why I am supposed to keep the notebook on the table next to the flop so I can write stuff that comes to me when sleeping…)
“…Where We Could Take A Gun…”
I have had that dream
in a peck of places and times.
I wait for The Climes.
“Making Sleep Work”
Cannot easily read
what was scribbled in the dark
when a good line came.
“Somnambulance For Sale”
Do I pay for dreams
from the easy bin or rough?
This sleep-shopping tough!
“Get Up And Write – Right Now!” Tanka 90
Notes, poems, haiku
die before my lagging arms
do as my brain bids.
Mayhap I must feed both booze:
quell the guilt of stillborn script.
