Golden Beans

I sometimes have cruel nightmares 
about losses unbearable.
It's like my subconscious 
just sits back planning 
what could really get to me, given that 
ordinary monster nightmares are fun 
and fail to make me wake up feeling horrible.

Elsetimes my subconscious 
seems merely to be writing comedy skits.

Rhonda and I were in some public auditorium 
and I couldn't stop farting. Loudly. 
A notice came over the intercom 
announcing that someone had stolen 
the extremely valuable gold beans. 

"Our golden beans have gone missing," 
said the loudspeaker, 
as a long noisy fart eases out of me. 
I look around and say, "What? 
I didn't take your gawdamn golden beans!" 
FLFLFLFL!!!
