Inbox Poetry, 8/30/04:
to the west; the edge was
taking over the sky
taking over the sky
taking. over the. sky.
Somewhere, not in a
bold, back-slanting
object; did not object to the object.
the wind was not enough to wind the sail.
Fortunato raised his left hand at the same time.

I dreamed I lived in an apartment, in a bad part of The City. I had visitors in town, and they wanted to go to the Zoo, so we went. The Zoo is small and cramped, and to get through or around, you have to move through the Big Cat house, and when I say "move through", I mean inside, where the tigers are. We walked quietly, trying not to disturb them, but they always found us. Sometimes they just knocked us over and sat on us, sometimes they tried to maul us. Hard to tell, when it's tigers.
Later, the visitors went home, and I went back to my apartment. I saw a neo-Nazi fellow driving an old naked black man down the street with a whip. I screamed at him - he turned his head, and the black man ran down an alley. The neo-Nazi was pissed, and chased me up to my apartment. I ran inside, and locked the door, but he was able to open the door and chase me inside. I had to kill him with my white knife.
I wanted to do the right thing, so I called the cops, and the building manager.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
triadruid showed up in a cop's uniform, and took a statement. lulumay was my building manager, and she was furious. Apparently, the neo-Nazi headquarters was only one floor up and they were much better tenants than me. I asked her to change the locks, or to let me change them, and she refused. While they were standing in the apartment, next to the dead Nazi, another man and a woman come through the door. They are more members of the neo-Nazi group, and the woman attacks me. The cop and the building manager just stand by, while I call for help. I kill her with my knife, too. Now there are two dead neo-Nazis on my floor, and everyone is just standing around. I know that the other man is the head of the group, and that I won't be able to fight him and win. It occurs to me that I had seen him at the Zoo, earlier. I beg triadruid for help, but he says the police can't do anything. lulumay is still going on about the locks. I know he's going to kill me. He grins terribly at me, and says he'll be back for me, then turns his back and leaves my apartment.
