in my dream i was rummaging through vhs tapes. they contained secrets of 
someone else's childhood. the toilet was overflowing. it was one of those 
dreams where my head was like a bowling ball. 

after waking i went outside and someone (maybe one of the guys installing 
the new AC, maybe my neighbors)  had spat on the lawn. i noticed this 
because their spit had grown into a human face still emerging from the 
lawn. i spoke to it for a moment. talked to me about raves coming up where 
it hoped to get laid, cornering a raccoon with some friends and then 
pissing on it.

i went through the house to get the lawn mower. 

inside my brother had fallen asleep watching secrets of someone else's 
childhood. music playing unamplified, the winds from outer space.
