i awoke

something at the end of my bed
crafted this disturbance

quiet

i rose up

my eyes greeted the eyes of an

infirm man

he sat with a meticulous cloak

and wreaked of a vile smell

he smelt just like he

had come from a latrine

his beard covered his face

and his eyes were glassy
and seemed to illuminate
the aphotic room

it was merlin

it continues ...

he talked for hours

about mystics and king arthur

i didn't really care
i really didn't care

he let me ask him one question

just one question

" what are dreams made of ?"

he sat back distraught

and bewilderment clouded his face

he told me this :

" vague realizations of our actual lives"

i smiled to seem
to accept this knowledge

fiction

brief fiction

early in the morning

from the east

the sun blinded

my half open eyes

it continues ...

i dressed myself

jeans, tshirt , and bed hair

so natural , so natural for brian jefferson

i went to a bank where i saw a policeman
he was an extrovert
his personality rubbed off on to one of the

tellers

she was an attractive lady
despite a misguided eye ball
i believe it's called lazy eye
no wait
amblyopia

that's politically correct

she yelled " next"

i shuffled across
the cold pine sol floor

" how can i help you?"

i simply asked how much i had
in my account

she looked back at me one eye
greeting both of mine
and the other looking at
a painting behind me
that said courage with a picture
of a gentle waterfall

" two million dollars "

i sat back puzzled

her face seem to claim
the exact emotion

it continues

i awoke once again sweating

and confused

the clock read " 7:30 am "

it was monday

this must be reality
no wizards
or
large sums of money

or maybe just maybe

this is a vague
realization of my actual life
