I was dreaming when I wrote this.
Forgive me if it makes no sense.
I was dreaming when I wrote this.
I was dreaming
     of Prince.

Of dining
     in a grade-school cafeteria
          with Prince.

Of talking
     with children all around
          about bits of ephemera from Prince's career
               with Prince.

And Prince was smiling.
And Prince was stiff.
And Prince was amiable.
And Prince was distant.

Today, I plan to parade a pair of purple pants around like a passionately pulsating peacock.

Yet, in my dream,
     neither I, nor Prince
          wore purple.

We wore regular Hanes T-shirts
     and dark blue jeans.

And we ate tofu Frito pie.
And we sipped soy milk from tiny cartons.
And we had cinnamon applesauce for dessert.
