i had this great dream that i'm trying to coherent-ify so i can tell you about it

but
sneak peek
that musician i'm always telling you about
he made a film and an album set
the film was a long visual collage
of people
in parades
or protesting
or at festivals
or crazy people
with no monologue or dialogue
just
looking at them
sometimes in long uncomfortable stretches
sometimes in jump cuts
it was very avant guarde
there was some talking or ambient sound
but
it was mostly the soundtrack album
which did the talking

some people said:
he's crazy
some people said:
he's a genius

some people thought the film was genius
but didn't care one way or another about the music

some people thought the songs were brilliantly
getting into the heads of crazy people
some people thought:
he just can't think coherently anymore
what a shame


i listened to it
and
this is one of the parts i'm having trouble describing
it was like i could see into his head
like i could see his thought processes
and
it was like the brush strokes
on a monet or something

i'm not sure this is going to get more coherent

there was one song
called what if
that simultaneously homaged
speculative fiction
time travel
and
delusional thinking
which was brilliant

i know
i was in a wood paneled bookcase lined room
when i was listening to this
the books were very important
and i was moving them somewhere

what was going on with me was not so coherent

and
i don't know
if this dream is predictive
or if it's telling me something
about what i should be thinking or writing or doing

and there is more i'm trying to remember


i love you
take good care of yourself
you're very dear to me
