Thursday, April 08, 2010: Black and White Cat

He found himself in an apartment that was not his own. There were many other people in the apartment. He moved from the kitchen into the living room.

A black and white cat began harassing him: scratching him, biting him, trying to climb up his clothes.

He asked the cat, "Are you hungry?" and tried to bring the cat over to his food dish in the kitchen. But instead, the cat continued to harass him.

His dog appeared, and the cat began to harass both of them. He tried to keep the cat and dog separated.

For a brief moment, the cat turned into a middle-aged Hispanic woman. She spoke in English on a cell phone. Then she turned back into a cat and resumed harassing them.

Finally, he picked up his dog and escaped outside.

His wife was there.

They sat together under a gazebo. Suddenly, black and white birds flew down, then black and white cats with wings flew down; then rabbits and other small animals with wings flew down.

"Look at them!" he laughed.

A bird eats a worm;

Pecks at it with its beak;
Breaks it into pieces;
Still squirming,
Swallows it,
And flies away.

Does the worm suffer
to become a bird?

Are we ground up
in the teeth of the earth
so we can fly to the stars?

Do angels eat men?

I watched a robin carrying a nest in its beak as it flew. Another moving dream, perhaps. Ever since my vacation in Vermont, I have been seriously considering how I can move to Burlington in the future.
