Lucid Dreaming

Inspired by William Faulkner's stream of consciousness writing.

we rolled down down down down the grassy banks when
 we got to the bottom we were in a pool and the pool was deep and the 
pool had navy blue water so we splashed each other for a 
while we were soaked we lay belly-up floating until we
 looked too long at the shifting sky and our eyes became
 the sky and we could see everything the sky could see
 the whole world and we wanted to cry because the world
 was terrible we held each others' hands then we blinked
 we heard something we stood up out of the pool the pool
 had become navy robes heavy around us with trains and
 waterfall sleeves and we had rose-gold filigree circlets on
 our foreheads that sang when we moved. Then we look and
 saw an antelope watching us sniffing the air it came close we
 greeted it with our fingertips another one came we climbed
 onto them and we rode into the stars which spangled and
 cascaded and spun around us and we galloped further past
 the stars into the bitter darkness of the universe and we began again.
