A few days ago I had this dream
I found myself in a semi-full classroom, some class in high school, the curriculum I can't recall
The teacher was finishing up some diatribe that I found faults with
I raised my hand and said something smart-assed and there was this hum from the other students that indicated my one-upsmanship
The bell rang before the teacher could respond and the class moved out through the door
You stopped me in the hall afterwards to give me your approval, saying that I should have a pulpit instead of the teacher holding the chalk
We hadn't spoken for awhile; we were nice to each other
We began walking through the campus, both of us knowing where we were headed without speaking about the destination
As we walked I couldn't help but notice this cartoonish "X" of white bandage tape across your nose
When I inquired about what happened, you laughed and said, "I was trying to talk to God"
For some reason my next logical question was, "You did acid?"
You laugh-nodded
I asked you with who and you replied, "Oh, just some guys from Savers"
The answer astonished and disgusted me, but really didn't surprise me
Throughout this exchange we zigzagged the inside and outside of the campus,
over dumpsters, through the gym, past the bike rack
Honestly the path was haphazard to say the least, but it felt like the way way needed to walk to get to our destination
We ended up in the basement corridors; each of us had flyers for a band (the group I couldn't recall), which we began dropping to the ground with the intent of Hansel-and-Greteling our way back to where we came from
We reached our destination, which when we arrived I realized was YOUR destination, and I had only been your escort instead of your partner in crime
It was a doorway, no bigger than the size of a large cupboard, residing in the middle of a big, barren hallway that was all concrete and windowless
You opened the door and crawled in, having a seat while clutching your schoolbooks
I noticed 3 other people inside the cupboard-door that I didn't recognize
I stood looking downward towards you
You then said, "Go do your own drugs"; smiled and closed the door
I kept my place alone in the corridor for a moment/forever
Eventually I turned around and followed the flyer trail back from where we came
I never reached the outside before I woke up and wrote down this dream.
