I'll Never Eat Spaghetti Again

I had a crazy dream

Of you and me

Running side by side,

Past flowing streams

Of computer screens

With pictures deep and wide.

Your face on each

And I in tears

Trying to forget why,

But every screen

Reminded me

Of the day you died.

We continued running

Through window panes

Nearly out of breath,

Gasping and grasping

At anything we could

To keep us from your death.

But there it was

Out in front

An emptiness too vast,

Where I slowed up

And you kept running

Futher into the past.

One step more

And down you fell

Tumbling to ground,

Caught by surprise

On sidewalk pavement

With angels all around.

I ran downstairs

To find you there

With hands behind your head,

Your skull cracked open

Dripping spaghetti noodles

Covered all in red.
