A girl, whose identity I lost in waking, and I are walking up dark alley avenues at night toward a silhouetting light at the top . Coming upon our third or fourth cross street a creature can be seen floating down the alley toward us. As it gets closer I can see it’s pink bloated head like a large tentacled brain. The girl and I hide in the space between two houses as the creature floats by menacingly, unseeing. When our safety is assured we come out and continue walking. In a silent argument the girl makes it clear she wants to confront the beast. Suddenly, we are walking back down a different alley hunting the tentacled monstrosity. Upon its discovery I launch myself upon it and begin to pummel the mauve-ish flesh. The most curious electronic sounds become audible as my fists strike the creature. At last my foe is vanquished and there is electronic fanfare as my next opponent is announced. The camera begins to draw back slowly. The fanfare is over and a wooden shack crashes and splinters in front of me revealing a large cubical robot, my confidence falters. The camera is pulling back faster now and as I make my first strike it is clear I am looking at a cellular phone whereon a game is being played. The character fails and is brought back to the beginning of the game. Now I am in a kindergarten classroom jockeying for a seat at the communal table. The teacher is making some announcements and I awake as her voice turns toward me…
Honey Pot and Hive

It is for naught I try to sway
the influence in my mind
to partake of this honey pot and stay
in its constant bind.
With this tasty treat I find
a horde of bees a’stinging,
but by the drone I am entwined,
their buzz like sirens singing.
