Dreams

03/08/04

I was sleeping in Jim’s apartment in China,
and an American guy (apparently a friend of Jim’s)
opened the door to the room we were sleeping in
(apparently they expected to storm in on Jim).
I didn’t act surprised that some stranger to us
came in an woke us up;
I just saw he looked confused, and I said,
“He’s over there,”
Motioning with my head to the other room.
And the guy just left to go to the other room,
to talk to Jim.
And the thing is, I didn’t think it was strange
that a friend of Jim’s just busted in to surprise him.
And the thing is, Jim doesn’t have any American friends
here in China.
