Day 24

It is like jumping out of a film noir piece. What is a dream and what isn’t? In front of me is myself: suddenly the bedroom becomes a mirror and the arms I call mine reach out and become a stranglehold. I look dangerous. Was I my own monster? I writhe out of my grasp, realizing I am not in the real world. Outside, I breathe as hard as Sisyphus pushes his rock. (I remember my sister once told me I move too much in my sleep.) I move my leg to a twitch, curl my fingers. I am awake.
