We're Naked

This morning,
you roll from your sleep-space, reach out with your busy, delicate hand and touch me softly on the shoulder, then the face and I'm certain that I smiled. I awaken happy and filled with the sound of your laughter--your hearty giggles. Stirring, still smiling and watch as the covers fly away and WE'RE NAKED!, it's morning and a whole day ahead. WE'RE NAKED! and I jump up running to win the race to the toilet but you're faster--you've been awake longer--and i'm sssstill dreaming on my way to the table by the sink where there's a joint, some water and a tapedeck, a lighter and a candle, so I play while waiting for the facilities.

"don't you dare light that joint 'till i'm done peeing."
"Are you almost done peeing?"
"Yeah."
"I'm lighting it. First toke my turn today Love" ...click...fssschhh

"Good morning! Good morning!" It's the Beatles, they're making noise as the chillin' cannabis flower smoke drifts softly into the air. I hand off the spliff as you leap from the peespace, grab it with grace and i take my place on the potty with pleasure; release with pleasure the stored liquid of a night full of dreaming. Yeah.

"Yeah... I had a wild dream just now."
"Prophetic?"
"No, I don't think so, I don't know, maybe."
"Tell me."
"Let me get off the can first. Can i get a toke?"
"Here, do you want to take a shower?"
"No. Um, I want to sit by the window."

I hop from the toilet and grab the blanket from the bed on my way to the sliding-doors window,

"What are you doing?"
"Do we have any really dusty powder?"
"...There's the dust in the bag in the vac in the closet. I'll get it"

,place the blanket on the heater by the door, turn around and YOU'RE NAKED!, I'M NAKED!, WE'RE NAKED! and i pass you the joint and you hand me the dust and i open the door to the third floor balcony and this sunny Saturday summer morning.

"It's certainly not the weather of my dream...Shit! where's the fan"

The fan's in the closet, I run over to get it then stop where you're standing to kiss you a kissy-kiss; you kissy-kiss me right back, put the joint in my mouth then turn it on high.........

"Yeah."
"I'm quite cooked. Nice bud!"
"You want this, last tokes?"
"Yeah"

Your strong, strong fingers clasp at the tip of euphoria, I stand by the window, the dust in my hands, you point the fan at me smiling, the dust starts-a-flying! all around all around, outside and in, it covers the Lovers and the room that WE'RE NAKED! in.

"Do you see the way it's swirling around?"
"Yes."
"Imagine it to be a cloudy day and there was this swirling around and we didn't have these walls, only thin air around us, and dust, like this, swirling all about. come, sit on the heater"
"It's really dusty"
"It's quite an effective effect."
"Sure"
"This was the end of the dream; what i just woke from. clouds of swirling dust with myself and everyone with whom i'd ever connected--although i couldn't see them for all the dust--we were all in this dust, being quite comfortably so, on the warm space all around us. It was very peacefull.

"Before that we were all at a huge party being thrown in Central Park in New York City celebrating the day of the Apocalypse. Everyone in the park with bands playing on a big stage. I guy came on between sets saying things like 'Great to be here all together isn't it?' and 'Okay folks we've got forty nine minutes to be alive like this', etc..

"We partied and partied like it was the end of the world, not a care in the world, just reverence, REJOICE!! (WE'RE NAKED! and it's GREAT!!) And the MC came on and told us 'two minutes to go', we all quietly counted down noticing smoke trails of missiles over the city.... then, masses of swirling dust carried us all and everything else away.

In a totally
pleasant
fashion

we all still hung out and relayed and expressed that 'wow this is a pretty wierd or interesting sensation' and 'Not at all what i expected." with lots of 'Grooovy!' and 'Ohhh yeahhhh.......':

(...sigh)

You turn off the fan, light up a smoke and sit back silently on the pseudo-sofa as the dust settles subtly all around us and WE'RE NAKED and in Love in a filthy room. You've got tears on your face but you're so happy it feels.

"That must have been beautifull"
"Yeah, quite something. Feels a little melancholy now. Perhaps it's that i'm having cravings for the feeling already. Beautifull is almost vague. I don't know Love. Yeah."
"Good dreaming." You hand me your smoke.
"Good waking up with you."

You smile, spring from the heater onto the bed, into your robe then right out the door with a thumbs up, no words just a giggle and I'M NAKED and alone with your cigarette, a mess in the pad, with a hot beverage and the whole day with you on the way.
