I had a dream that
Three frogs
Were floating in a barrel of soapy water
Dead
And the pet rat I keep in a cage
On my floor
Had multiplied
Now having babies
Who we're sweating
And hot
And struggling to breathe
I had a dream that
My boyfriend
Raped me with a friend
Underneath a blanket of stars
And I kept saying no
No, no, no
But only to the friend
Not to him
And I'm wondering just what
The hell
These dreams could mean
Are they side-effects of the birth-control
I've just started taking?
Probably not
But I just can't get to sleep
After these pictures fry themselves into my brain
Sitting on my couch
After I've woken
Shaking
Twisting the sheets
For want of a cigarette
Though I've never smoked in my life
And I turn those frogs in my mind into sponges
To clean up my weaknesses
And short-comings
And the things that I just can't tell you about yet
Because I can't
- I Can't
Let you see them
And I wont tell you
That for three nights straight
I've been dreaming of rats
