A Dream
……..we are discussing, we are in a very deep conversation. As we exchange ideas our bodies begin disintegrating and vanish altogether. Our words, ideas, bodies swirl and blend in a mist in some unknown space. Unfamiliar abstract forms take shape, then change as ideas and “we” link to one another. Forces take on bizarre non-forms. Yet it is all extremely clear and well defined, orderly and simple. No chaos. No absurdities or fear. Very intellectual equations and words….our bodies take on geometric shapes that change hues…..
…..now I find myself in bodily form once more gazing upon a row of heavy cast iron mechanisms. The metal machines look very heavy and measure several feet across, and they vary in shape and purpose. I gaze at the row of contraptions. My mind is calm. I feel a sense of sadness and melancholy for the world, my body, my life. But now there is something I know.
“The Evaporator”, I say to the vendor selling the machines. “I want the Evaporator”.
Now I expand and disintegrate. I become minute particles, millions upon millions, floating in the air, slowly drifting up and away like smoke in a sunlit room. I am leaving, going to some new place.
The others whom I had conversed earlier now came running with “nets” try to catch the tiny particles (me) so I couldn’t leave them……..
