OVERNIGHT MEETS

I dreamt of Prynne on roller skates. 

Khaki shorts, white shirt. In his prime, probably just getting those 

first replies from Olson.

The young acolyte and the father

watching for submission 

breathing pressure 

the skull afraid 

 saying do not 

fear the darkness

go forwards 

there are three grins to guide you

they glow; that scene at the forest bus stop

the acorn drops on Totoro’s head

and he sneezes

phnneeshshshaaaa.
