Moon over Miami
Last night, I glanced up at the Miami sky and saw a beautiful fat crescent moon and last night in my inability to sleep I counted shrimp, oil coated shrimp. And wild dreams ensued. I dreamed that we dug a hole for a pool in the back yard but someone came to tell me they found little people there. I came outside to find a ragged mother and child, with very dark skin, on their knees placing all of the little people and totems they found under my house in the wet mud. The woman called me to her because the totems had started to vibrate and she whispered, “You must pay homage, you must pay homage. You blonde women think you are invincible but you are not. You must pay homage.” I turned to the totems and they vibrated and delivered me a message. “You must not do anything for three days in homage.”
I went running up the stairs to get Tatjana and Tin and Tin was sitting on the floor and I was just about to spew the totem story and he said, “Mom, I saw a dolphin today.” And we both looked over and said, “Oh my god, he spoke!” And suddenly I was on my knees asking him all sorts of questions.
Then the maid came and asked me if I wanted tea and I said yes, and she gave me through a slit in the door that I had left half open 100 green tea bags.
The phone rang and it was my wake up call.
