old poem from an old chabbook now hopefully defunct...

(i did post this here once before.  i gave it a bad introduction.  well, here it is again, with no introduction save this.)

i saw her shoot a few men from the back of a big car.
somehow the bright white seats remained completely clean.
then we both left the car to enter her house.
i met her little daughter while she reached into the fridge.
but when she offered me food, i had to leave.
she said she’d made some Klondike bars for me,
and i told myself, “that’s it.  it’s time to wake up now.”
but when i did, i wondered why.  i really
should have stayed asleep.  oh well, back to tossing and turning.

then i was with a woman i seemed to need to be with.
we needed a source of heat.
i believed my tea pot would radiate.
she found something else.
i started to brew some tea, but she screamed “NO!”
i guess i wasn’t staying there too long.
then the starship Enterprise was calling me back.
i told Captain Picard i’d be right there.
then she asked me to come to bed with her,
“for just ten minutes.”
and that’s when i awoke.
