And I Woke Up Before It Was Done

by Luc Reid

I think it was supposed to be your dream, not mine. I was me in it, but I didn’t feel like myself. I felt the way I felt when I saw that drawing you made of me in 8th grade, with the glower and the grin both at once. The people riding the trumpets didn’t make sense to me, and I shouted at them and they seemed confused before they rode on. Someone with a broken bike chain was chasing them and shouting, and I didn’t know why. I saw your father turn into that barber that used to scare us through his window with the scissors and I don’t know why you’d do that to such a sweet, old man, especially when he didn’t kill you for wrecking his Mustang that time.
