In my dream I prepare for the density of the text across several days.

In my dream: dogs.

In my dream the dotted gray line indicates a series of burglaries we are proposing that will lighten the tone.

In my dream I turn my head sideways and look through the split tree trunk.

In my dream we are accepting of her “indebted information” under the gray sky.

In my dream we have packed away most things around the brown tufted arm chair, revealing the corpse of an elderly woman. My friend rests her head against the naked, wrinkled back and smiles faintly, shaking her head “no” when I say “Do we know who she is?”

In my dream: ragged chunks of fire breath in her heads.

In my dream the X-ray shows the gold bar to be solid, with no interior chamber.

In my dream: flashes of ceremony on a round game platter.

In my dream I wander past the brightly lit, trashy shoe stores of the Tenderloin, protecting my phone and trying to photograph the shredded street art.

In my dream it’s time to assemble my newest design: adorable modular backpacks.
