chocolate cake before bed =

i woke up with my ears ringing from a dream about a circle. James was in the passenger seat and responded "French Aquarian" to questions unasked. i was looking for sushi on the winter solstice, and there were children in the gift store demonstrating their ESP while an ice cream truck drove by playing "Fur Elise." but all this is besides the point.

the point is that a beautiful, wise woman i've never known once asked me: "does your soul cast about like an old paper bag?"

and i didn't know what to say.
