Zzzz Bra
I keep wanting to get back into my old habit of writing down dreams. The problem is if I wait too long after I wake I tend to forget them — and I can't see to write them down when I wake in the middle of the night without turning on a lamp or getting up and leaving the room, which tends to wake up Geri. Anyway, I apparently awoke sometime in the last week or two and wrote this quasi-poem. I don't remember writing it, but I found it just now written in pencil on the second sheet of a dull yellow Post-It Note pad on my desk. I always hesitate to post poems about other people, afraid they'll be taken the wrong way. But as this is unequivocally an homage to one of my favorite artists — and I don't have time or mind for a lengthy blog — here goes. I hope it doesn't disappoint anyone to know this was not a sex dream.
Zzzz Bra
I sleep in Smith,
a zebra print art tee
designed by the
agent of chaos
bunched at my chest.
I dream of
walking on thin ice
while sleeping in Smith,
wondering whether
he'll feel me roll over.

Good choice of t-shirt artist, good choice of walkingthinice blogger, good choice period. You got taste man. But I still ain't sleeping with you.

Damn - well, I guess I can't have everything.
I almost joked that "Smith and Lady went to Mexico and all I got was this damned tee shirt" - but I was afraid you'd think I didn't really appreciate the shirt as much as I do.

Oh no, I would have liked that. It is funny. I'm a hard one to upset.

I ordered the tee shirt in black and it came yesterday. It is really unusual and I like it a lot.

Wonderful job right here. I enjoyed what you had to say. Keep heading because you surely bring a brand new voice to this subject. Not lots of people would say what you’ve said and still make it fascinating. Nicely, at least I’m interested. Can’t wait to see much more of this from you.
