It no longer has any purpose

hanging out with a group of college kids
back to a dorm room
dancing and drinking
wearing a suit that was made fun of
everyone pairing off to have sex
not being able to join any of them
standing with the suit, unzipped
with an erection
everyone is looking at it
one guy punches it humorously
another photographs it
creates a 3D homunculus
in a jar
for a presentation
all of us passing out
trying to get back before a certain time
dream shift

a large city
Dallas, Chicago
a modern circus, exploratorium
there with a companion, AB
outside, under freeway overpasses
high tech
like a mall store
crowds of people
kids petting crocodiles teeth
she pulls away from me
I get irritated
watch a bivalve exhibit
tube fish and clams with shells opening
extending and withdrawing in murky waters
odd spider like creatures and cleaning devices
turn to next exhibit
look for the companion
she was dressed like Jacqueline Kennedy
from JFK assassination
believe I have lost her
kids are petting a giant serpent
hissing out air
its jaws bound with leather
up and incline
a man is throwing baseballs at a giant
still irritated, I walk to an intersection
more displays, shopping areas
oddly vacant
walk to an abandoned factory
find the companion
talk about our relationship
ask her if she wants to have a birthday party here
give her a tube fish in a plastic cup
it keeps rhythmically extending long feelers
then withdrawing
she seems excited, but then underwhelmed
consider just throwing the tube fish away
it no longer has any purpose
