i had an odd waking dream the other morning
i was at a party
i only knew a couple of people
i have no small talk
there were apparently famous people there
but not anyone I recognised or knew
i was uncomfortable and about to leave
but caught sight of a man sitting slumped back in a chair
who was looking a little green
i had an airplane vomit bag in my purse* (as you do)
i was heading over to him
cause he looked like he was going to spew
the girl i knew a bit was trying to stop me
because he was somebody
and she thought I was going to pester him for an autograph
or something
Due to the slight delay
I didn’t get the vomit bag to him quite in time
And he vomited some on my shoes and skirt
Everybody else moved back out of the way
And I was left holding the bag and patting him on the back
The host of the party was pissed off
But went and got a towel and a bucket
Once the bucket was safely in boys hands
i went and emptied the bag in the loo and chucked it
assuring individual that it was fine
and that usually I had to deal with cat vomit
which is much worse
and that I had been about to head off home anyway
so vomit shoes was not an issue
the weird dream stopped not long later
after I had placed a damp cloth on the mans forehead
and was on the way back to the bathroom
to empty and rinse the bucket
(when I was in Adelaide last, there was an incident where I had to beg a bag from the sanity music store opposite the airport departure lounge because I wasn’t going to make it to a bathroom after a big night out and airline staff had just called boarding – meeting up with friends at the gig in Melbourne, they presented me with their airline vomit bags as present)

ReplyDeletei am dreaming of odd decaying teeth quite a bit lately. i'm quite puzzled when i find them, my teeth crumbling away or speckled with pretty yellow patterns.
i've only ever had those dreams just before something went wrong with my teeth.
ReplyDeletei had the crumbling teeth dream the day before half of one of my back teeth broke off eating lasagna
How incredibly unpleasant. It's a very well written poem but very dark.
ReplyDeleteit wasn't unpleasant at the time
ReplyDeleteit was a relief to be useful
and a good excuse to leave the party
funny, i didn't think it was unpleasant - i think you were lovely and caring and made a very sweet nurse.
