elephants
i had this really long dream
i was in this town in africa or something
and there were hundreds of elephants
and they ran the place
and one day i asked “how come you all run it together, and never elect a leader or anything”
and suddenly they all go CRAZY
stampeding around
and finally one of them holds up a blue star in its trunk
and they all stop
and gather in folding chairs
and tell me that the secret is that whenever anyone has aspirations to rule, they brain-wipe them
and now that i know this…
they stand in a circle around me
and i’m begging for them to stop
and then i feel like i’m being smothered in some sort of pressure
and then my face goes all slack and i woke up wondering who i was
the end
