Dream

Friday: Sexual dreams are not necessarilly pleasant and I am not going to recount the details of this one, save to say that I was an eyewitness to pointless human suffering. And how like life it was: when the torture finished, the victims cried how they’d been changed for the better! The old catharsis argument for the existence and perpetuation of trauma!

I woke from this nightmare as soon as I could break my shoulders free from the mattress. Where did it come from? I sat on the side of my bed and exhaled the atrocity from my lungs.
