OK
I can't remember all of it
I was waiting for 
someone
in a car
THEN
ended up driving 
SOMEWHERE 
ALONE

there was a problem with the car

I got 
OUT 
I walked 
OFF the ROAD

I'm not sure exactly how this happened 
I FEEL like 
I didn't SEE that I was in 
DANGER of doing THIS 
BUT 
THEN

I was
FALLING 

& I THOUGHT 
well, THAT'S IT THEN

BUT 
even though I 
MUST
have been falling with my body facing the direction I was walking

I WAS FACING the
OVERPASS*

*or bridge or whatever it was with no railing at all 

AND
I GRABBED it

well, I CAN'T POSSIBLY HOLD my WEIGHT 
by my FINGERS 

BUT 
I DID

I WALKED myself 
from the middle to the side
HANGING 
& moving my hands
LIKE 
hanging hand crab walking 

which there is probably a term for

& it 
DIDN'T EVEN SEEM
DIFFICULT 

THEN
I climbed down the side of the freeway 

THIS 
SEEMED
AMAZING 
LIKE 
I couldn't believe it 
& I wasn't 
AWARE-- hey you're in a DREAM 

I'm pretty sure 
there continued to be MORE 

BUT 
THAT 
is all I remember
