Some one mentions dreams. You have
had them. And you take the opportunity
TO describe their unusualness. The kind
you have had are just little more unique
than the dreams of the others. Or, at
least, you appear to think that they are,
for you elucidate their peculiarities and
their premonitory significance with a thor

murmurs her adieux and her thank YOU

and the juicy resonance of your brilliant
remarks lingering like agreeable flavors

You are the champion hypnotizer prac-
