Dreamscape #1

I had this idea back in 1998, to make a rough booklet featuring small snippets of dreams I've had. The other day, 16 years later, I finished it. Sometimes it takes that long I guess.

This is the cover.


This is page 1.

No more true self

No more true self,
No more inherent nature

No simple identity,
No static personality

Complex being, instead,
composed of now,
of free thoughts
and delusions,
right perceptions and wrong

Nothing more
    to achieve
        to be complete

Wade in the Mill River

2 chipmunks, a duck
and the second wade in the Mill river
of the season.
Now, waiting
for almost anything
to happen.

Toothpaste Tube

Toothpaste tube,

on the floor,
in my pocket,
on the table,

for a few days,
reminding me
to get more...

how many last drops
did I squeeze
outta that thing?

Nothing's Wrong!

What am I doing?
What are any of us doing,
living in
a hazy pseudo-history
created by
desperate governments
and
senseless corporations
while the
illusion of democracy
grows thinner
as
oil barons
purchase formerly elected
positions
and gas and chemical giants
try to convince us
    nothing's wrong
        nothing's wrong
            nothing's wrong!

Love is moments away.

Strange night peace, again

Strange night peace, again.
What is going on?
I'm crying and ___ is watching over me.

whatever that means.

Like Hearing Echoes

Within the clusters of mental and physical elements

Seeing the animated matter we call human life -
Almost like hearing echoes
of thoughts

echoes
reverberating, rippling
in the material world
outside the mind

A while ago?

I’m putting chairs away

I’m putting chairs away
in the boathouse
You’re giving away his clothes

I’m putting swings away
in the garage
You’re selling his car

Tomorrow, we move back
form the lake
Yesterday, you brought
his urn
down to Northampton

Life

and to prepare

I went out
to where the
old gods
could still hear me,
and I
left your name
with them.

Then I
burned down the world
to save you
from yourself,
to purify myself,
and to
prepare for battle.

The Fire

"I finally got my wish."

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You know how I wished
my house would burn down
and then I wouldn't
have to worry
about all the crap
I've been collecting
and feel trapped by?
Well, it just happened."

It was just
your defensive humor
and good attempt
to handle a shock,
because really,
it sucked
and who knows
what to do
in reaction
to these things?

We talked some more
and I decided
I would raise some money
for you over the internet,
which I had never tried before,
but it worked out
that I raised $2500
in a few days
and the whole thing
popped me out of
my sense of powerlessness
and made me see myself
in a fresh light
and made me grateful
for the chance
to come to your aid
because I think
we're all really heroes
on the inside,
waiting for a chance
to do good,
to change a part
of the world
for the better
and I'm glad
I saw this chance
and took it.
