A New Use For Syringes
Drug Dream 03/25/2010
 
Drug Dream-

I got the dope and the beloved syringe.
I will hide in the closet and finally feel the rush again.
What’s that noise, damn, got to find a new hiding place.
Ok, I will hide in my studio.
Closing the blinds, drawing the curtains, stapling a blanket over the window with no curtain.
What, he is not supposed to be here yet.
Got to find a new hiding place.
In the car, trying to think of a place in Mineral Point with a one-person bathroom.
I got it, who uses the bathroom behind the library?
Ok, in the bathroom, ready to feel the rush.
Oh shit, I recognize those shoes.
I know I will head to the Gallery…solo toilet with a locking door.
What, there is a line for the bathroom at the gallery.
Strange that so many of my friends are waiting to use the bathroom at the gallery.
Ok, I will just go back to the car and shoot-up in the car on a back street with little traffic.
Damn, when did he start walking around town offering to wash peoples windows.
Ok, where can I go, I need to do this shot.
I know, I will go back to the house and do it in the shower.
I always loved shooting up in the shower.
Fuck, even the hot water heater is trying to stop me.
Back in the car, heading to the Kwik trip, they even have a sharps container in the bathroom.
Ok, got the syringe loaded and the sleeve pulled up, finally it is going to happen.
What the hell is that beeping noise?
I wake up having not really slept because my mind had been running around town all night.
I was so close…fucking alarm clock.

Man, I thought the days of hiding my smoking habit were difficult! Part of the trouble of having a habit is hiding it, that's clear. It is such a relief to be over any addiction and not have to sneak around. But I still have dreams about smoking too...

Great, now I have to look forward to dreaming about drugs and smoking...LOL I have never shared the contents of one of my drug dreams before, but at the urging of my beloved sounding board...I decided to share and I plan to write about them all in the future!
