Heliotropic Mice

             I dreamt of heliotropic mice
             Aching for the sun,
             Of a tabloid story of a beautiful blonde
             German lesbian actress seducing 2 other actresses,
             Of a guy in my band playing harmonica with his vagina (?)

              I dreamt of dark mystery hills at night
              Sparkling with myriad lights
              Of luxury homes redolent with the implied promise
              Of sex & booze,
              I dreamt of misty morning Santa Barbara shores
              Devoid of people,
              Stunning locales where I strode, the sole inhabitant,
              Brilliant lonesome summer meadows
              The antithesis of the fulsome shitholes of humanity,
              Dream places only my mind manufactures
              When this world I actually inhabit
              Is not good enough for me.
