“My dreams, they all look like the back of my eyelids.”
“I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open, and I'll do my looking back with my eyes closed.”
“I closed my eyes to watch tiny dancers like jeweled birds cross the dark screen of my eyelids.”
“I blinked deliberately, expecting my eyelids to act like lumberjacks. But the trees would not fall.”
“I like undressing women with my eyes, but I just can’t quite figure out how to unstrap their bras with my eyelids.”
“In my dream, I am not returning to Detroit to be with my parents. I'm not dreaming of being back in Mexico with my mom. I certainly don't dream to be back with Angelita! No, in my favorite dream, I go home... home to Nancy's house.”
