Sonnet

I dream the grocery list.
I dream that I must go to a city on the coast, but my eyes can't focus on the map, and I end up on a highway driving in wide, infinite loops.
I dream I am building a wall of snow.
I dream the crows come down and are nicer to me than they ever are in life.
I dream my stand up.
I dream someone I love is strangling me to death in the Whole Foods parking lot. 
I dream a skating rink. A mall from my childhood with splashes of teal and purple on the walls.
I dream I wait on a boardwalk full of abandoned tourist traps, dimly lit by dusted bulbs.
I dream the waves outside are higher than houses.
I dream of a blue jay flying on a leash held in the hand of a woman who looks like my neighbor.
I dream of a thousand better things to say to you.
I dream two twin, perfect twisters.
I dream a basket of seeds that are as perfect and bright as candy.
I dream I have captured every cat out of the backyard.
