Last night I dreamed of a huge wave
Preceded by visits from my mother and Barack Obama
In a parking garage where I had stood in line for jury duty
Still cleaning up the old flood waters with a broom and hose
The candidate checking on my neighborhood's progress
When I saw it coming, everyone had gone and I was all alone
Its huge inevitability was shocking but not surprising
As it came towards me, it picked me up
Oh, How a tiny kitten must feel when lifted by a 6 foot man!
As I swiftly rose into the air, everything stopped
(And the roof of the parking garage just got higher and higher
or else no longer existed)
I knew what would happen next if I didn't wake up -
Crashing to my death on the concrete ocean floor
