Night Terrors

5.14.010


Last night a blinking red traffic light came before me in a dream and told me

that I was gonna die one month before my ninety-ninth birthday.

It even asked me if I was okay with the fact.

All I know is that my sleep is so lonely

& that pulsing crimson bastard reminded me of some weird torture -

like being tied to a board.

The rest is just details.

Painful details all so bloody and violent

like let downs shot straight into the vein.

Doomed to ninety-nine?

No -

that's like you're saying you're condemned to life.

So bring it harder.

It's gonna take more than ten tanks to kill this

beautiful monster.
