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.
