Hakeem Olajuwon Said "pants"

I was standing in a store getting veggies and cheese when commotion, nay, uproar made me drop my canned peas. Picking the can off the floor, trying to understand, I searched for the uproar's core as I fingered my can. Then I saw it, just a head but one that meant so much, and froze up, alive but dead, as I cradled my lunch. The Olajuwon! Hakeem! The Houston Rockets' ray of light known as The Dream was lumbering my way. He came right down my aisle and he stopped right next to me! It's possible I smiled as I saw he too had cheese. Why wouldn't he continue to the rest of the shop? I held my breath, I turned blue, why on earth did he stop? Then a word passed his lips and quickly entered my ears. "Pants," he said, and away ran. The Dream had disappeared. I contemplated later as I stood in my nook, what did Dream mean, that baiter; was I a fish he took? Because I felt like a fish, I could not breathe on land. This would drive me insane-ish. "I have to understand!" Did The Dream refer to his stylish pants that he wore? Was he commenting on this less stylish pair I bore? It's embarrassing but true that he might have said "pass." I must've looked like a fool in my unstylish pants. I resigned myself with sighs, very perplexed, it's true, eating my veggie-cheese pie and appearing confused. Gays? Abortion? Bomb Iraq? Some things we'll always ask though we hear no answers back and Hakeem "Dream" said "Pants."
