I had a dream the other night
It was quick-moving and jumpy
so be patient as I explain.
At first, I was in a forest – dark
and wandering alone looking for
someone to love, to find comfort
with.
Then I was crawling up vines,
Desperately scrambling might be
a better-suited phrase.
And then I was dropped, now
a mouse in a giant bathtub
and I couldn’t make my way out of
the dirtiest bathtub I’ve ever seen,
ever been in. You could wash yourself
for a year in that water and never
feel clean.
I never feel clean.
