I Fall Asleep  In  The Wrong Throat  And 
 Is Not So Much Dreaming As  Being Forced 
         To Imagine A Scenario...         
                                          
                      
  
  
  
                      
                                          
           Big Halls, Arcades,            
          Filled With Characters.         
                                          
 I  Get Instructions For Them, For What I 
 Must Imagine  Them Doing Or Saying. They 
 Have  Some Agency,  But  Not  While  I'M 
   Looking. The Instructions Are Beamed   
 Into My  Mind,  Spoken From  A  God,  Or 
             False Demiurge.              
                                          
 Sometimes I'M Too Slow And Fail To  Make 
 Them  Do  What  I'M  Instructed   Before 
 Time'S  Out, And Then They Get Punished. 
                                          
 One Of Them  Got  His  Vocabulary Shrunk 
 Down To Only  The  Word He Failed To Say 
      (Roofs? Rufus?), Many Were Just     
            Physically Maimed.            
                                          
 It   All    Was   Very   Stressful   And 
 Repulsive. It  Felt Like A Nightmare, Or 
               Fever dream.
