Ten.One Thousand, Four Hundred & Fifty

1. In the dream, they walk up to me and grabs my hair, and just stands there staring at me. I look around at the people near us and yell, “You’re seeing this right?! You’re seeing this, right?!" I stand there and her hand is still grabbing my hair. I do it so that there’s plenty of proof that she touched me first. Then I shove her hard.

2. I try not to go back to sleep and slip back into it.

3. Ants.

4. I tell him the dream. “It’s so obvious,” he says. “It’s not that hard to interpret.”

5. He looks so big in the passenger seat. So, so big.

6. The nurse and I start singing at the same time.

7. Trying.

8. The best part is when he’s trying to hide the smiles because he realizes that what he’s saying doesn’t make any sense.

9. I forget that I don’t have a key to the car but he happened to leave the windows down. I climb through and toss the baseball bag out the window.

10. I laugh to myself. Oh well.
