My routine was infested,
my foreseen was arrested,
my children, they attested,
my mentality's decline.

My up time filled with drab,
my down time filled with flab,
my wind chime hailed a cab,
and sipped on too much wine.

Exhausted from the week,
some relaxation seek,
lulled to a fitful sleep,
by telly's fickle glow.

I dreamed my mind was filled
with psychedelic pills
that swirled and sapped my will
and drained my mindful flow.

I dreamed my swollen head,
a pitcher full instead;
tipped to the side it bled
and spilled onto the floor.

The liquid seeped and spawned,
distilled a thoughtful pond,
a magic cleansing balm,
that soothed into my pores.

Much later I awoke,
my stressful fever broke,
my daughter gave a poke,
concern was in her eyes.

I sat straight up alert,
I gasped and then I blurt!
The carpet was a spurt
of multi-colored dyes!
Inspired by Genises II by sugar-hype99 for the contest Awareness of the Arts: Visualize our Dreams.  The title is from the companion illustration.

I imagined a stressed out parent... maybe a single mom. Her head is swirling with weeks of endless life management and snafus, and she falls asleep on the couch from exhaustion.  She then has a bizarre dream where she dumps her brain onto the floor in a massive therapeudic puddle.  Cleansed, she awakens to a surprise.

After writing so many serious pieces I have to let a little humor out.
