don't get it

i can hardly believe our common denominator is
humanity

but my pride is speaking here.

you make me sick
and there is always compassion for me

how can you feel compassion for both
the oppressed and
the oppresser?
abused and abuser?
unfaithful and jipped?
ungraceful and ungraced?
gossiper and gossiped about?

where do we find equality?


only in a lapse of reality,
one called
"forgiveness"

analyze with me.

last night i had a dream where j.r. was shot.

yes, j.r., from pop trivia somewhere, was shot in my dream.

i think he must have been a friend of mine.

there was no clarity about who had done it, and in fact, for some odd reason, whether or not i had done it, i was trying my damnedest to make it seem like i had.

some family and church friends drove up to the scene, and i took an ax (or a bat? but i think it was an ax) and started hitting their cars with it. i shattered my friend anna's windows. everyone seemed ok with it, like it was part of the plan. i was doing all these violent actions with great calm. i got into the backseat of anna's car with a few other people and anna seemed annoyed. she said that she didn't realize she was going to end up with broken windows because of this. i felt bad. for that, but nothing else.

we drove to a cabin in the woods (these woods have been in my dreams before) and everyone got out and went into the cabin, just as i was reaching the front door with my dad, the cops came. they started to arrest me.

everything was going according to the plan.
