Roach Infested Dreams
a beautiful muscular dream
sat down beside her
"who are you?"
"I am your---was."
she sobbed.
the dream
wrapped his

crawling down her leg

Thunder, Are You Okay?
it's was raining
gentle rain
and then
the thunder
fell and bumped
his head
and screamed
scaring the
rain away
"thunder?
are you okay?

rubbing the
big ol' knot
on his forehead
"i'll be all
rrrrrrrrrrrrrright"
gentle rain
came out from under
her bed
and began
to play again

she wrote a poem
he painted a picture
to go with the poem
and then she wrote a poem
to match that painting
and it went on as long
as the tide
would ride the
ocean
