1997

"Deborah spoke of lucid dreaming.
I intended to dream about flying.
Instead,
i borrowed an old man's bicycle
and i rode it over water." --chc

As a frog jumps from lily pad to lily pad,
as a child skips through a game of hopscotch,
as a grandmother slowly scuffles the contours
of a local shopping mall,
a dog rolls around in glee.


As a quarter spins to a final resting place,
as a horse gallops toward the deafening finish line,
a mortician pulls a cart into her deathly office,
a bird flies above and a mangled gnarl of kelp is dragged from the sea.

A humped camel traverses the dusty desert sands,
and i

RUN TO YOU.
