so back to that dream

i think it was math
but maybe science
that i was failing

that was not so interesting
as the swimming (?) class
it was not swimming
and i'm pretty sure i've had dealings
with this before
it's in a round
stadium shaped building
and there is a tank
but it looks more like a ship
or a seafood restaurant
or something
with nets hanging
and wrap glass

and
i was in the locker room
which was more like a spa
and i was walking around and around
which was a bit like the key arena
and
i kept trying to explain
that i needed help:

i have some sort of dyslexia
no matter which way
i think is the right way
i always end up going wrong
i cannot get to class

they said:
you gotta be kiddin me
it's right there

take me
i said

we don't have time for
your jokes
they said

i'm not joking

it sucked

and

i cut my thumb
chopping onions
cause i have a sharp knife now
(really for a couple-of-three-months now
but this is the first time i've cut myself)
night before last
not a big cut
just a flap of skin on the end of my thumb
but
you know those sharp cuts
they usually heal slowly
so
i put a band-aid on it
because everything caught the skin
and
i hate band-aids
because
usually
when i take them off
the skin is all mushy
and it takes even more time for it to heal

but
when i took off the band-aid to shower
it was healed
with hardly even any scab
it seems like three or four days worth of healing
i'm not even sure i washed it out with soap

isn't that kinda weird
i mean
i've never been prone to infection
but
i don't think i've ever healed that fast
and i've got no coating on my tongue at all
but i'm not even really eating
that many leafy greens

my favorite foods
currently
are
peanut butter
hummus
and
refried beans
which
may be a protein thing
celery
is my only consistent green
with some steamed peas, broccoli, or cauliflower
most days
but not all
bananas
like one a day
but
all and all
i don't feel like i've been extra good

but i guess i'm not deficient, huh
