    I wore my lucky shirt to bed

    and had saturated dreams

    of the roads that parallel my home

    just blooming with flowers

    under a blue richer than September's.

    When the scene changed

    to a dim, ornate,

    Hall of Mirrors-looking place,

    there were five incorrect versions

    of my own art piece.

    This sparked me lucid.

    I looked right

    to find my reflection

    which, too, was wrong,

    the hair was longer.

    I felt in conscious control,

    but I tilted my chin down,

    opened my mouth,

    and exhaled darkness

    from my esophagus,

    meta-cognitively wondering

    why this is what I chose

    if I was really in control.

    It was a confrontation between

    myself: evolved, certainly

    and now: curious, antsy.

    I think the point was

    that I had control

    over whatever “evil”

    I could be.

    Or that I'll have an opportunity

    to purge it

    once my hair grows.

    So, the scene switched

    back to saturation, back home,

    and I experimented.

    I crashed my car into another

    knowing no one would suffer.

    I was lucid

    and I told my friends about it

    before I woke up.

    Ruminating in bed

    about why this particular sleep

    took more out of me than the

    work weekend

    was put to rest when I got up

    "Oh, the shirt!"

    ​

    “Water Me Down” spelled out

    by the roots of two sunflowers.

    This lucky shirt that I

    wore to bed for the first time

    this night.

    I got it from a suitcase

    of recycled clothes

    at a house show in high school.

    I’m unsure of the origin

    of its magic.

    After years of having only

    exceptionally great days

    in all different kinds of conditions

    while wearing it,

    it went dormant for

    maybe a year before this.

    No coincidence.
