in
the
dream
,
some
kind
of
small
gathering
was
happening
with
colleagues,
but
i
left
to
retire
to
my
room
and
climbed
the
stairs
.
my
bedroom
was
a
safe
space
.
saturday
morning
cartoons
were
playing
on
the
television
.
the
room
was
comfortably disheveled.
i
entered
the
bathroom
and
it
was
messy
;
the
detritus
of
cosmetics
and
hair
products scattered
around
the
sink
.
i
was
put
off
, believing
the
mess
was
someone
else's,
and
then
i
found
a
hairbrush
containing
threads
pulled
from
my
scalp.
i
was
contented.
this
was
my
space
.
i
left
the
bathroom
and
began
to
dance
. began
to
float
,
really
.
and
i
made
my
way
over
to
the
cd
player
to
study
the
music
that
was
making
me
move
.
it
was
the
cure
,
something
from
"galore"
but
a
title
i
can't
recognize
now
,
a
title
that
doesn't
exist
.
it
wasn't
a
greatest
hit
it
was
a
lost
gem.
the
room
changed
and
had
enormous
ceilings
and
a
strange
patchwork
of
carpeted
walls
and
downspouts
and
concrete
.
it
was
a
work
-in-progress.
