Eye Was In Peter’s Girlfriend’s House
Butt There Were All These Other People
Supposedly From The Weslyan Church
w/ Masks
(stylized masks as opposed to medical).
One Eye Leaned Against On A Couch
Thinking She Was A Pillow —
She Got Mad @ Me —
Eye Was Trying 2 Take Care of Baby Eliza
2 Give Her A Bath —
She Seemed 2 Need A Bath.
Eye Asked Peter If Eye Could Talk 2 Him
Privately
Butt He Was Reluctant.
He Knew Eye Wanted 2 Take Eliza w/ Me.
Eye Wanted 2 Take Her 2 M(eye) House.
Eye Wanted 2 Care For Her.
Eye Wanted Her 2 Live w/ Me
@ Least Temporarily.
Eye Told Peter, “Peter, Eye Have Lived
The Loneliest Times of M(eye) Life
In M(eye) House
& Eye Want M(eye) Daughter w/ Me.
Eye Can Take Care of Her Now.
Eye Live w/ 3 Cats Eye Neglect.
Eye Like Them, Butt Eye Don’t Love Them.”
There Were Gates Everywhere
& Unfolding Stairs
2 Try 2 Get Out of Peter’s Girlfriend’s House.
Eye Said 2 Him, “You Have (Her Name) Now.”
Later, He Said He Wished Eye Hadn’t Said That
Within The Confines of Her House
Because He Wasn’t Sure About Her.
There Were More People Around
Who Were Doing Drugs
& One Man Seemed 2 Be A Pedophile.
Eventually Eye Laid Eliza In A Crib.
It Had Old Food On Layers of Bedding
& Paint Chips & Old Makeup
In The Bottom End.
It Was Disgusting.
That’s When Eye Said 2 Everybody:
“This Is All A Dream
& Eye Should Be Having M(eye) Child
In M(EYE) House —
Eye’ve Been Trying 2 Get Her 2 M(EYE) House.”
Other Women Laughed @ Me
When Eye Said, This Is All A Dream
& Eye Thought They Were Sizing Me Up
For Mental Instability.
When Eye Had Finally Said, “This Is All A Dream”
A Transvestite Super Woman Appeared
Lying On The Floor
& Assured Me That She/He
Would Help Me Get 2 M(eye) House —
Then Eye woke Up.
NOTE: Eye Was Holding Baby Eliza
Throughout The Dream.
When She Was Laid In The Filthy Crib
She Was Laid Down Like A Discarded Doll.
She Said She Was Very Sleepy
& That She Needed 2 Take A Bath
Butt That She Was Very Sleepy.

On The Last Day of May
Eye Drove Through The Evening Sun
Along Highway 103
Lit Lavender Were The Trees
w/ Solid Green of New Leaf
& Blossomed White
Dabbed Here & There
Like A Landscape Painting —
This Morning June 1st
Eye Opened M(eye) Eyes
2 Clouds of Pink
& Got Up 2 Write

On M(eye) Single Folding Chair
& Drink M(eye) Tea
