Dream Object (I was seeing an old atomic bomb test from above the Pacific along the line of ships which seemed to grow larger. Then I was beneath the debris streaking through the water wondering if it would reach California and contaminate us. Then I was at Joyce Lightbody's looking at paintings on lumpy metal sheets of the negotiators for the Serbs, Croates and Bosnians as vampire basketball players plus these asshole vaginas and baskets...)
