he told me his dreams 4
as he wakes up less
rested than the night before.
I had a dream my teeth
fell out again, he said.
This time they fell out one by
one, first slowly, then faster.
Sometimes they all fall out
at once, sometimes they fall
one row at a time. I try to
stuff them back into my mouth.
What is this supposed to
mean? I don’t understand.
I just don’t understand these
dreams. What does it mean
when you dream your teeth
fall out, when you dream it
regularly? I think it means
I’m afraid of commitment.
No, I said, it means
you’re pregnant. That didn’t
go over well with him. And he
walked to the washroom,
brushed his teeth, made sure to
floss, like he would four
more times that day
