Acid Rock Rinse Cycle Grunge Metal Razor Kiss
The following is based on true events as recorded from a dream.
3am A.M. wakes me
Punching me in my chest
Gripping at my heart
Twisting painful knots into my cycle of breaths
I gasp
I gasp
I gasp for air poisoned with the taste of bitter smoke
It courses sharply through my bloodstream and marches directly to my brain
It stains my sheet with a salty wet substance of my own glands
Its almost as though I had taken a swim in the ocean
yet I was only in the basement
The dingy dirty dark filthy black silt covered tomb at the bowels of what some might call home
I descend rapidly
Falling not walking into its hollow stone lined flesh intestines
Corridors twisting
Family gathers under yellow tinged luminescence
The view is like a pee stained disco
Flickering monitors imprison nude wriggling bodies
They all laugh
They all smile
They call out Domino and King me
Their arrogant ignorance disturbs the air
Killer rats with gnashing teeth emerge from their holes
Jumping
Biting
Shooting brown machine gun pellets from their asses
I was frightened
I didn't know which would be worse
To die of disease or from the loss of bodily fluids
The precious blood that god gave me
I vowed to protect it
I run
Stumbling up an infinite flight of stairs
Panting
Gasping
Swimming upstream like a spawning trout
Rats hanging from my flesh
Sweat dripping from my brow
I just want it to be over
Eye wide shut I bang my head against hard light
It stuns me and I fall
Slowly
Drifting down like I was held aloft by angel wings
Feathered and white
Crowds gather around me
I plant my head firmly into the earth
It felt like pillows
Relaxing
Warm
Soft
I arose from a small pool of my own saliva
blood
teeth?
The world spun around me
The boys in blue walked by me
Not offering a hand
Not asking if I were ok
Did I need help
I stood
I dusted off the disgust of my making
The dirt of the ground
Gods magic formula and began to walk
I thought this was a nightmare at first
But there she was as beautiful as ever
I drifted in her direction
My intention was a single kiss
Her lip silently called to me like a siren song
I wanted to hum along but my mouth was crusted shut
I could feel my teeth chattering the drum solo
I drifted
Bumping into pedestrians
I drifted
Leaving over turned tables in my wake
I drifted with no means of deceleration
It was an inevitable crash
Screams
Food tossed all over
Ketchup stains my shirt
The boys in blue don't believe my story
I am grabbed by the arms
Led back into the basement
One of them grabs his weapon
I break free
Catching his chin with the butt of his own gun
I planted my bare feet sharply into the toe of his boot
His screams disrupted the skies
They turned black and angry
The basement now looked more safe
I run dizzily towards its mouth
Down its throat
Once again withing its bowels
The rats now drive tanks
My mother battling them with a cast iron skillet
Whack
She knocks them around like haphazard Tennis serves
Whack Swack Pow
They smash against the wall leaving interpretive modern art splatters
The air is thick with violence
My chest burns
My throat aches
I just want to go home
All is quiet
My sister is walking alone through an alley
I walk up and hug her
I tell her every thing is going to be ok
She grins
The dream now ends
5am yells at me
pierces my eardrums
I wanted to scream too
The room spun into place
Reality reconfigured
I walk over nude to turn it off
The nipping cold reminded me of a recent journey
One with rats and sentinels
I commence in the standard morning debate
Obligation wins this round
I descend the carpeted stairs
Remnants of a dream still hanging on
The world of darkness painted with surreal memories of an unconscious mind
There she was waiting for me
I lift her up onto my lap
I began to stroke her softly
The words flowed from my mind to my finger tips easily
She understood them all
She translated every scene of my dream into its digital manifestation
Maybe you were there too?
My chest still burns and there are scratches on my hands
Maybe I am my own worst enemy
All I want to do
Is wake up...
