dream dremel

tug
and away they go
1400 stadium seats
like a snail shell
unspiraling down
a plug hole

it’s just a binary whirr,  green and grey 
moving shapes tickling my eyelids

the next day as we hurtle
toward that silver car
which ran a red light
I wait for new dreams
the dividing of shin bones
a head in a glove box

but luck has 
a dozen centimetres in stock
and
breathing fast through our finger tips
we hit any key to continue

the plug hole can wait

    1. Thanks, Mike! You’re so kind. Yesterday’s experience sure shook me up. We were on our way home from a post cancer treatment check up at the hospital. All was good. And then I thought the universe had new plans! As my grandfather always said “You have to consider everybody else on the road a fool.”

      1. I’m so glad everything ended up okay–both the check-up and the near-miss on the road. You’re right–things can change in a heartbeat and we have to keep our heads on a swivel on the road. Happy to know you’re safe and sound. 🙂
