In my dream I want to travel west for an additional few days, even though I have no place to stay: the tall, staggered streets are like a canyon, and I have the idea to fill them with paintings on wires.

In my dream I’m in J’s loft which is bustling with construction baffluence and new work being made. I am trying to connect around some tea I suggest that try, which sounds feeble and foolish in the face of everything going on.

In my dream Manila Luzon lounges in our corral in Times Square talking about the time she acted alongside Clarence Williams the Third while lights flash in the warm night. I walk away and the further I go, the more layers of muck accrue to my bare feet until I am searching for some vendor that sells Crocs and some way to hose them down.

In my dream it’s the end of the event when they tell me I’m hosting a panel discussion. People in the loft are finishing their food, starting to talk and unwilling to be wrangled into another conversation even if I could find their names and speaking order on my phone.
