JIM’S DREAM

– December 6, 2009Posted in: poetry

Jim wakes up in a cool sweat. His recurring nightmare again: the one with Andrew Dice Clay. The one where he, Andrew Dice Clay, is in a deli and orders a ham and Swiss cheese on rye. Only he calls it “Squish” cheese. Then Hank Williams walks in and shoots Andrew Dice Clay with an M-16, but the bullets bounce off his chest. Then he, Hank Williams, turns into a giant squid, but still retains his features. Then the Hank Williams squid pours himself a cup of coffee, lights up a cigarette, and says, “like Johnny Guitar says in the western ‘Johnny Guitar,’ ‘There’s nothing like a cup of coffee and a cigarette.’” Jim notices that Hank Williams is missing several teeth in his lower jaw.
