2 Am Dream Catch

2 a.m. Dream Catch (written June '07)

I turn 21 on monday 

of course.

how fitting a celebration on a monday…
I try to dream big.
I try to understand the concept of dreaming.

it just seems to complicated.

like pondering the absurdity of the vastness of the universe after consumption of too much inspiration.

or trying to understand why the neighbors dog barks at 1:00 a. m. each night.

I’ve been studying this dream catcher 

it’s hung in the corner of the room 
for some time now.

maybe tonight i will give it something 
good…

or maybe not.

This was written in '07. Meant to throw that out there. But thank you Jan.
