Treading Water

I had a dream I'm surrounded by big cats and there's a chain link fence I climb with razor wire on the top. On the other side of the fence is a big white tiger. A leopard starts climbing the fence.

"Well shit" I say and wake up.

I used to wake up happy. Not anymore. Not least for a while. No that's not true. I always wake up happy, but then circumstances express themselves.

And the circumstance is not helped by my own slow-wittedness. Birds should feed on my head.

I hope this isn't a case of becoming a gillman. See when you play recursive Titanic over and over, eventually some of the steerage and crew become gill people.

Hands hammered flat by rich people in life boats.

I can be a Johnny Gillman.
