the script etched deeply,
oxidized, turned brown on
the skin of the ruddy red
apples

this was my dream last night

they were lined up
front and center -
facing the world bravely from
the glass cabinet,
one word front and center
displayed on each.
1-2-3-4-5
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4-5
each line a stanza, each
apple a glass-shielded
note

a living, breathing
fragrant song:

a monument! i saw it so clearly.
but i got tired
couldn't finish
went to play video games

they were so disorganized;
i tried to return a bloody
game to a fantasia movie
slot

and when i woke
up my groin hurt for
no reason

my pile of clothes on the
other side of the room
had tumbled over
and it was true that
dad had called me
at four in the morning to
tell me that grandpa

had died.

Yes, it's wonderful how these seemingly unconnected or just tenuously connected events all add up in the end.
