Vessel Log: 2009 10 13


: restless sleep; dreaming of falling over, unable to get up, bugs and ants; dark but I can hear cars; don’t want to know what time it is.

* * *

: the dream was Dexter S04E01 inspired; unexpected rain spikes the autumn color quotient; reading Harriet, Amber Tamblyn wrote about artichoke town in California; remember being there with J. and N.; the mountainous plumes of burning brush and the giant artichoke outside the restaurant; wearing a short-sleeved shirt in this weather is mentionable; K-sensei, like a sweet mommy, wonders if I’m chilly; recording for the listening test, I fub the word sushi; picking up trash from the sides of the roads, white woven gloves and navy blue metallic grips; walk around with S. 3B, always amusing smarties; barely any trash to be seen but they return with so much; hiding under a wooden board, a pile of pill bugs, dark as asphalt, squirming; walk home with Michael Jackson’s HIStory; the park looks too dark to walk through… and so what; the orange-purple public lights; horseshoe prints in the gravel; see R. in the dark by his open car door; the cat’s silhouette in the window, he takes her off the sill; these carrots are turning; help B. with his stove, hand him a TV like a looter; under a snowman blanket, Dexter and FlashForward; retire an hour earlier than usual feels fantastic.
