i had a sad dream

That i just woke up from. In my dream I was in a library with this boy, (unknown), my lover. He was a bald headed southsider. The librarian was playing a film clip for us of a wanted vampire and his companion. In the film the two were fighting kung fu style on a school bench in the middle of the nucleus. I remembered feeling sharp pangs of recognition and a poignant nostalgia seeing the man on the screen. He had dark blonde hair in a tight ponytail- and baggy black clothing. I think he was mine in a past lifetime. A friend in another time and place. I missed him. I watched astonished but suddenly i had the urge to seek out books to guide me in my career choice. The song Voyage Voyage began playing on the newsreel. I couldn't believe it. The librarian brought me to another section of the library- it was then that the library was usddenly filled up with rushing people. I grabbed my friend and she pulled me down the passageways of shouting and hurried people. We were so scared- the ship was sinking. I realized I was on the Titanic. About halfway out- I reached my bald boyfriend. I didnt want to pass him by- and he urged me to go the direction he was headed for. But all my power and my will realized he wasnt going anywhere- at that moment time froze and we stood still. My homegirl broke us apart and we ran off the ship, sonehow in the net scene we passed an asian outdoor market and i hurriedly considered taking some food- but there was no time, We ran far ahead in the opposite direction of the ship. I looked behind me and saw the great ship snap in two, and in my mind i pictured a flood beyond us rushing to swallow us whole. Then we made it to Thy's backyard and we climbed on the white swing set. Me and my girl held onto the ropes of the swing and tied ourselves to each other. We watched as the ship sunk on the horizon- and i cried knowing my boyfriend was still on it. It was a beautiful sunny bright white morning- and me and my girl stood strong watching the still scene beyond. We made it.

I noticed we were both wearing long flowing white dresses. I looked down- nd in that moment- i realized my full round belly.
