That night I had a dream. I dreamt I was as light as the ether- a floating spirit visiting things to come. The shades and shadows of the people in my life rassled their way their way into my slumber. I dreamed that [redacted person #1] and [redacted person #2] had decided to return to prison. Probably that's just as well. I don't mean to sound superior, and they're a swell couple of guys, but maybe they weren't ready yet to come out into the world. And then I dreamed on, into the future, to a Christmas morn in the [redacted place #1] home where [redacted person #3] was opening a present from a kindly couple who preferred to remain unknown. I saw [redacted person #4] a few years later, still having no luck getting the cops to listen to his wild tales about me and [redacted person #5]. Maybe he threw in one Polack joke too many. I don't know. And still I dreamed on, further into the future than I had ever dreamed before, watching [redacted person #3]'s progress from afar, taking pride in his accomplishments as if he were our own. Wondering if he ever thought of us and hoping that maybe we'd broadened his horizons a little even if he couldn't remember just how they got broadened. But still I hadn't dreamt nothing about me and [redacted person #5] until the end. And this was cloudier cause it was years, years away. But I saw an old couple being visited by their children, and all their grandchildren too. The old couple weren't screwed up. And neither were their kids or their grandkids. And I don't know. You tell me. This whole dream, was it wishful thinking? Was I just fleeing reality like I know I'm liable to do? But me and [redacted person #5], we can be good too. And it seemed real. It seemed like us and it seemed like, well, our home. If not [redacted place #1], then a land not too far away. Where all parents are strong and wise and capable and all children are happy and beloved. I don't know. Maybe it was [redacted place #2].
