ALIENATED AFRAID OF FURNITURE IN BEDROOM
by Brandon Scott Gorrell
i am sleeping on the couch in the living room
i am dreaming about an endless series of white walls with green emoticons
the walls are staggering on top of me
they have crumpled me into a small, white ball of paper
i am dreaming about ten panthers crouched in my room
they are waiting inside my room and i am expecting them to fly through the door and pounce me
i am dreaming that i am falling through the atmosphere from space towards the earth
but that my soul has found a way to alter time so that it reaches the ground before my body
and my soul is running around screaming, "my body is going to hit in 26 minutes! my body is going to hit in 26 minutes!"
and my soul is screaming, "someone help me!"
and i have woken and have opened the door to my room
and i am looking at the things inside my room
