Dream

I dreamt that I ran the New York Marathon. At the very end there was a crush of people to run into a small brick building and touch the far wall, which would determine your time. I came in at four hours and four seconds. But for the crowd I would have come in under four hours. A man sat at a desk writing down people's times in a ledger. A friend of mine told me that he added ten minutes to my time.

Soon after the park was abandoned. The lawns were filled with the detritus of the race. Water bottles and numbers and wrappers dotted the grass.

There was another dream I had remembered moments ago, but now it's lost. This is my 101st posting. Posted by eku at April 5, 2004 10:03 AM
