Bread and Bandages
11/26/2005
  Universal Maze
I dreampt it rained and the water fell in my mouth and
slid down the back of my neck just beneath my shirt like a
high-school lover’s hand. All the people were walking in the
opposite direction I was going and their faces were smudged and
indefinite under the water. Raindrops gathered beneath the sparse
hairs on my head and formed tiny puddles on my scalp.
I entered a building, resisting the powerful temptation
to dogshake water all over the dry people sitting
around me. Eyes opened I was back in class in a
hard plastic chair and damp cotton t-shirt.
