I love playing games, thinking up schemes,
dreaming dreams, is there a job description
for me somewhere – games mistress, teaching
the rest about having visions, how to expand
imaginative faculties…
Maybe I should start a New Age meditation
group – only problem is, I can’t meditate, only
manage to fall asleep or think up a storm, create
a variation on a fairy-tale; what job description
will accommodate that?
A production sheet, showing my deeds, would
contain the following statements: Dreamt five
heavenly dreams about a prince and his princess,
saw ten visions of a new Jerusalem on earth in
which Arabs and Jews
Became fast friends, indulged in daydreams during
meetings in which friendly aliens created new
underground bases on earth, taught about several
concomitant lives being led by one Gestalt divided
into multifarious selves
Explained how a superhuman god met and wooed
a marvelous goddess – who is interested in such
qualities, send your requests, before I get sacked
and die of hunger in old-fashioned poetic tradition,
- though it would serve me right, of course!
