Dreams are Documentaries

Dreams are documentaries

 

I dreamt you were old and lonely 

you paid me to come over 

to give you courses on something

 

I dreamt that I felt sorry for you 

doing it strictly for the money 

feeling a certain contempt 

 

coming over from the next town 

taking a golf cart on the expressway 

feeling dread about your intentions

 

I woke up realizing that the dream 

was really a documentary  

with the characters reversed

 

so I deleted you on instagram
