The Unwinding of My Mind

 

Sometimes the spring-tight mind


of mine unwinds. The other night


in sleep I dreamed it was time to


feed the dog. Getting ready to do


so, my mind realized that it was


late, somewhere in the middle


of my early morning sleep, and


that I had already fed the dog


on time the day before, and


likewise it was way too early to


feed the dog for the upcoming


day. So, I drifted back to my


REM condition to dream of


something else. That’s when


things got really weird for me.


Dog fed on time, my mind was


satisfied and decided to play


tricks on me with deep-seeded


thoughts I could never in a


lifetime of reality either prove


or understand. One issue solved,


my mind partnered me with a


a character I knew to be you, but


he looked nothing like you. I then


awoke abruptly at 5 AM totally


confused. Somewhere between


the before and after of the now


and then, my dog was still sleeping.
