A Trip I Took Once Upon a Dream

Who moved the room? What colors are these?
Where are you going? Chuckle. Chuckle. Who cares?
Gas in the dentist office is not half as great as.
Who are you? Oh. Okay. Sure. 
You can crash over there next to the others.

Oh, that is so pretty! Oh, my Gawd! What IS that?
Wow! Keeping myself here always. 
Real life can just....
What is going on?
Hey! I have missed you so much! Hey, it's my soul!
My SOUL is here! What are these colors? 
I am so damned hungry. Maybe one more brownie.

I will dance with you. No. I will fly with you.
I do not even need you. I need no one!
I am flying now.
I can fly as high as I want.
Call me Peter Pan.
Just let me go.
Let me be.
Who said that? What are you the CIA?
What colors are these? These are NEW colors!
Wow!

Charles Messina Date: 5/13/2019 9:15:00 PM It's been a long time since I had the gas in a dentist office, but every once in a while I do dispense some...lol Love this, Caren. :) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/14/2019 12:33:00 AM Thank you. I remember once yelling "I missed you so much!" and realized I was speaking to my soul, under gas.

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 5/13/2019 8:51:00 PM I travel with you Caren, and won't see the dentist unless they have the gas available. A colorful trip which garnered you a poem! Splendid! : ) xxoo Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/14/2019 12:33:00 AM Thank you Connie. And do you have the name of this dentist? So many will not issue the gas any more. I am willing to travel.

Kurt Ravidas Date: 5/13/2019 1:05:00 PM I'm affraid, they'll never let you go, Caren. P.S.: When I used to write smth of this kind in Russian, they ironically asked me for my drugdealer's address. Hoping, I left them behind) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/13/2019 1:45:00 PM I will easily shake them as this was fiction based on how much I love nitrate at the dentist office.
