Sleeping Princess Yum Yum

"Bang!" goes another kanga on the bonnet of the van/ see the light ram through the gaps in the land/ many an Aborigine's mistaken for a tree/ Til' you near him on the motorway and the tree begins/ to breathe/ Coming in with the golden light/ In the morning/ Coming in with the golden light/ Is the New Man/ Coming in with the golden light/ Is my dented van/ Woomera. "Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee- A-a-a-a-a- M-m-m-m-m- Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti- I-i-i-i-i- Me-me-me-me-me,"

Scooby Doo.... where are you?

i am at a wedding. I am in a wedding. I am wearing a blue bridesmaid dress and we are toasting the bride - but we all have liqueur - mine looks like raspberry schnapps. The groom is sitting to my left which I think is strange - he should be sitting downstairs with the bride.... They play their first song and it's something by the cocteau twins.

Then I am running from someone. We are trying to figure out a mystery before they find us and kill us. We have to be somewhere called Revere and the old lady prints it in the daily news of the town - she wasn't supposed to give the details and now they are hot on our trail. We climb the steps of an old colonial house to where there is a mausoleum and the ghost inside comes screaming out - chasing us down the stairs.

There is a casino and they are watching. I have to count mountains of dimes and quarters.

slow motion

I can see the mother walking with her children. She is in white and the beach is behind her and the ocean is roaring. The children are in jeeps. Tiny white jeeps made for children and they are racing. One of them hits the rails of the train tracks that run parallell to the beach and the jeep flies up in the air - and we see that it is going to come down in front of a speeding car. Or is it? Is it just the angle? I am holding my breath thinking "it's going to happen again it's going to happen again" but the jeep lands in the sand out of harms way - it was the angle.

They call me Mr. Keach.

I am supposed to meet TK for lunch. The parking lot outside the strip mall is empty. I am looking for her inside the mauve restaurant and she has her back to me with a purple tank top on. We hug and chat a bit - I ask how OK was and she says it was fabulous - that she has a surprise - she got married to an old family friend. I wink because I know who it is. We walk out to the parking lot where my mother is waiting and I tell her the news. My mother says "To Stacey Keach?" and we laugh and TK says "yes, but we don't call him Stacey in our house - it's Mr. Keach."
