79. A DREAM IN A DREAM

A DREAM IN A DREAM
I wanted to make something with my hands...
no sex joke intended, but there you were.
It was like a drive in the country, in an old MG,
top down, exhaust howling. The three barns we passed
each had huge painted signs on their sides :
'Collier's Home-Made Elixir', 'Red Man Chew',
and - lastly - 'Harmon's Antiques Emporium'.
Sure was country-time to me.
Then, just like that, I awoke and realized
where I was - Jamaican Rum, malted-milk,
and a screeching bevy of kids on TV.
And then I REALLY awoke, and realized...
that too was a dream (in a dream).
