Lucid Dreams of Bowling Alley Men
He had straight blonde hair and was young.
Perhaps I was too
He showed me a large, luxurious bedroom with many windows
I loved it,
but it was a guest room.
Who was he?
He worked at a bowling alley.
Wha?
No...
Well, maybe it's okay
He showed me another beautiful guest space.
Why?
And what made him keeper of the keys?
I change into a clingy, champagne-colored dress
It looks great
How is this possible?
He's wonderful
He's an idiot
No, he's perfect
but he's leaving
Why?
That's what happens when you wake up
he tells me
as the world vignettes
You can see me again
in another dream.
"Nah" I decide
as I awaken fully
bracing for another resigned
weekday morning rush.

Dear PD,
This reminds me how we are the keeper or controller of our dreams. Although, if that’s truly the case why would I dream scary things? Eh, I digress. I loved how he was all things “He's wonderful
He's an idiot
No, he's perfect
but he's leaving”
And the ending was fabulous.

Thank you, H.
Scary dreams are supposed to be good for you. Clears out the cobwebs or some such.

I bet you were heavily influenced, subconsciously, but that old ABC pro bowlers T.V. show.
Or was it celebrity bowling?
Well now I'm influenced by that dark corner of 1970's "sports" television as well.
Look at what you've done to me 😉

Right when I read your bowling comment, I had an ancient memory of changing channels- on my way to One Day at a Time or who knows what- and pausing at bowling coverage on ABC. I thought the hushed commentary contrasted with the thunder of the bowling balls was kind of interesting. It held my attention for about forty seconds.
I don't remember celebrity bowling. If they had it today, lots of people would tune in to see Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez' barn-sized posteriors.

I don't get the Lopez appeal, but that's mostly because she looks mean to me.
I would think a low center of gravity would help them with their ball management though:)

Thanks, Pete. I had a repetitive dream in college- kind of a nightmare- but haven't since.

A dream!? WOW! I thought this bowling alley man was going to show you a good time. Well who knows. The few Bowling Alleys that remain in my area have become all high end. They look ridiculous. Lounge chairs, a fireplace, couches, a few board games spread out if you want to play. Gourmet food and drink. Oh and there's no fucking jukebox for the patron to pick & choose what kind of music they want to listen to. All piped in, crappy music of today they play. SUCKS!
Anyway...Cool poem, great story telling and maybe at these new bowling alleys, this guy does exist.

Thank you.
I think the bowling alley near you sounds great- except for the music. Although maybe bowling should just stay low brow.

I was a cameraman on a bowling cable TV show way back when in the swamps of South Florida. Oh the stories I could tell...

Was the bowling at Sunset Bowl? That was a big hangout for me and my friends in junior high. We would walk across the street to WFUN and talk our way inside to hang out with the DJ.

Actually it was down in Kendall I think or maybe Homestead. It was so long ago I only remembered it because of your poem. The highlight was the local steakhouse we went to after the show. Back then you got the whole meal for about $8 ...

Interesting take, thank you! I thought he wasn't serious about me because he kept showing me guest rooms.
