I had this dream where I was
the center of attention.
It was like a wedding, but I
wasn’t getting married and
there was no bride.
Somebody, maybe a relative,
like an uncle, kept introducing
this young woman to me, as if
trying to be a match maker.
But she was a college student
who said she was majoring in
Honey but not doing well in
her studies. We had a mutual
disinterest, me too old for her,
her too young and unappealing
to me. For unknown reasons, I
had a pile of Catholic pamphlets
next to me on the table I was
sitting at. In fact, the entire event
seemed to be for unknown reasons,
though it resembled a wedding
without a bride or a groom. I woke
up groggy, groggy like the dream.
And, yet another dream where a
woman pops up in it. Maybe the
fates think I need a woman in
my ancient, reclusive life, lol.
