Had a dream that I had red suede shoes
and a woman liking them.
In the dream, I didn’t know her well,
and I wasn’t really attracted to her.
But she kind of forced her attention on me,
and she wanted to go see a new apartment
I just rented in another city. I started thinking maybe
it would be nice
to be with a woman for a while again; it’s been
a decade since I’ve gone anywhere with one.
But then she began dominating my time, planning
the day with things I didn’t want to do.
And I wasn’t looking forward to spending time with
her, but I agreed to it, so I was obligated.
I woke up and realized that even though it seemed real,
it was all just a dream, and I was so relieved.
