i dreamed several things
which seemed, in the dream, somehow
to be related to one another
there was a yellow car
a pale creamy yellow
it was old, but well maintained
not a sports car, nothing fancy
but more like a late 70s pontiac lemans
than an 80s oldsmobile cutlass
and there was some sort of dragnet
closing in on
well, i thought it was on my man
and i was waiting for some sort of sign
but then, suddenly
they tagged the car
and i had to abandon it and go
i kept running over in my head
whether i had used poor planning or poor judgement
or just plain procrastinated too long
but i decided that i really had done the best i could
with the information i had, when i had it
it just sucked about the car, whatever
then
i was standing in a building
a tall building
with someone who, in my dream, was my brother
we were trying to look out the window
this whole section of wall was window
but it was roped off
maybe the floor wasn't safe to walk on
that's what they wanted us to think, anyway
i think it was being remodeled
there was that plastic stuff covering the window wall
and my brother was trying to see something
something we had seen before
something that meant something important
but i'm not sure exactly why it was important
it was a building
maybe a hotel
maybe an apartment building
and i'm not sure if the name had changed
from all those years ago
but now the name seemed to be: marseilles
or possibly marseillaise
then
i was watching a fashion show
in a department store
in the lingerie department
and the model, who wasn't all that thin
had on these lace panties
that were like a wide band around the hips
without much other fabric
they were like the boyshorts version of a g-string
if you know much about women's undergarments
and i wanted them
but i thought i wasn't up to them
and i turned to look at a full coverage kimono
and a woman turned to me
maybe it was the designer, maybe just a senior sales staffer
anyway, someone with authority of opinion
she said to me: no you make a mistake there
that wouldn't do you justice at all
too much fabric will only make you seem larger
you really need to have a little fun with it
