The Left Column
yet 
another
dream:

Scott
you were
in my
dream
Scotty
in my 
dream
and telling
me things
like you
used to
mumble
and I 
couldn't 
hear you
scott
cause the fan
was on
in my
room
and I 
got up
close
to you 
to listen
because I
always 
value
what you
have 
to say
and we were
friends
again
and you
weren't gone
and lost
to our
world
and far away
like you
are and
estranged
for 20
years.

We all still
love you
so Y
can you
not 
understand
that dumb
things
we say 
when we
are drunk
and young
are meaningless
and our
kind
of friendship
lasts
forever?

Maybe
it is 
becuase it
is your
new year
that I
think of
you and
long
to be
able to
meet again
my best friend
who
left and
never
came
back?

Scott.
I miss you.
Will
you never
realize
that
you could
always
call 
and that
I am always
always
your
friend
and that
I am older too
and I hope
wiser.

and then I 
faded 
into 
another dream
and woke
and washed
and had some
water
and ate 
some toast.
