this is just random

i can't remember my dreams
just tiny fragments here and there
some are a bit disturbing
and some are a bit encouraging
but they don't paint a picture
of anything i can see to tell you
and i always worry that i'll seem to be saying
something bad, so i hesitate to try
to piece together the bits

the thing that has been bugging me a bit
though it's probably nothing
i didn't choose that hat or that headband
those were randomly selected by the computer
and even though i made a bunch more pictures
they never came up again
i can't stop looking at them
i can't decide why i think they are such an intense experience
it was really just something i did for pure curiosity

maybe that isn't quite true, maybe not just for curiosity
