October 2024 Flash Lit 1:3 - Curled Up in a Ball

Curled Up In a Ball

 

Sleeping in fetal

whorl, I dream.

a photo booth,

a guy dancing

with a skateboard

on top of a cigarette

machine,

a line of oil tankers

can-canning

just off the beach.

The angel of dreams

clearly curled this

scenario into a ball,

hurled it at the

trash, and hit my

head instead.
