Stress Dreams on LexPoMo Eve
I’m in a recording studio with my niece, Natalie (who’s only three years younger than me), and she’s made a video with Miley Cyrus that will play on a college campus-vision channel. She hits the “Submit” button and it goes live, so she asks me to check it out on the way to class. I walk through the hallways (I’m back in college, I guess, and I wonder how many classes I’ve missed) and I stop at a video with a “Disney Channel” bug in the bottom right corner. It’s showing a mash-up of Ren & Stimpy cartoons and music videos. I grab someone over and say, “My niece made that!” and they shake me off, moving back on their path.
I get to class and I’m in my old room at my dad’s house (before he died and we had to give it back to the bank, I guess). I’m with some friends, but can’t remember who, and my pocket buzzes. My phone has a notification and the app is something I’ve never seen before. I read this message before waking up:
YOU HAVE SINNED ?

Your dream poem must have been heavy with REMs, but it also pegs you as the victim in so many ways. Each of us, even those who say they don’t dream, should sin the way you did.
