In my dream I’m going through all of the collages, handouts, zines and ephemera I’ve gotten over the past couple of days. I put the good stuff in a small bundle. This dress doesn’t  have pockets. I missed out on the short rib at the buffet earlier.

In my dream the late night gatherings in the glass fronted corridors are turning orgiastic as I walk through. All my planners have been stolen and steam is spilling out from somewhere.

In my dream we are invited to dinner at an embassy only to arrive for the announcement of a coup. We laugh it off until it becomes clear that we need to escape the increasingly brutal building. Every room is now an abattoir.

In my dream a couple asks me to distribute their independently printed comic book. I decide that I’m going to spend the rest of my vacation in the upper Castro and go to hand them a bag of miniature oysters I’ve had around as a way to seal the deal, except I see that a gray wispy mold has grown over the package, which means the oysters are off .
