Inauguration day dream
I've just woken up from a dream.
I got arrested. I have no idea what I was doing or how it happened, but I was arrested and put in a cell with my friend Andrea Moon who had a baby with her who could speak in full sentences. The jailer kept moving me to different spots on the floor-- apparently so that he could chain one arm to Andrea and the other arm to one of several rings in the floor. The jailer himself was actually quite nice, except for the fact that we were about to be chained and left in a room. We talked, and he ran off and came back several times for things for the baby, a blanket, etc. He also told us that the word on the street was that we were all to be in there for four years. America lovers all over were apparently putting away everyone they were sick of in the States.
Let me pause to say that I thought all this was true. When I woke up in my bed I was confused for a second and then it slowly spread over me that I wasn't in jail and don't have to go to jail... yet.
I went to a bathroom where I saw theleahkitten and another person and when we walked out again we were in a big fenced field and Leah had access to a car. We started thinking about ways to escape, but I wanted to wait until we knew whether all this arrest stuff would blow over. I remember thinking about my phone. That the battery would probably last one more night and then I be disappeared from everyone and everything but these few people out here.
And then I woke up.
I don't think of myself as an activist although I often feel I ought to be one... and so, uh, mindful inauguration day to all.
