I've a black baby in a shopping bag, the latest addition to the family.
Trying to board a train, I've a black baby in a canvas shopping bag, trying to catch a train, I meet K (boy's mother) on the way...
She's unexpectedly curious, looks into the bag, the writhing black baby, it's mine, I know, that's not the issue, there's somewhere I have to go, she somehow manages to catch the train, I'm expecting her to hold it for us but she doesn't and I'm running after it...
Don't know why but I thought she'd wait for us, the train is leaving and I'm running after it, she'll get it to stop...
...but the train is still leaving and I'm running after it, hoping to board it at the next station...
maybe London-not-London, not sure, only that I'm running after a train with a black baby, my baby, in a canvas recycling shopping bag...
**Note: Probably related to article read online about a woman stopped in the Caribbean with a baby in her purse - black? Caribbean? Not sure. Missed train a common theme. K, not a common person to be included in my dreams. Another dream that night, complete as well, but I've forgotten...

Scratchy film reel, photoshop filters, buildings passing as seen from a train.
I'm coming into London, London not London, there's St. Pauls and the Opera House, great architecture writ large upon the landscape of childhood, buildings behind buildings, not London but the small town where I grew up, the prairie architecture replaced with grand old European architecture, recognizing both the buildings and the map upon which they stand, central park and the library, London not london...
Now I'm flying, swooping more, finding high buildings to leap off of, falling and then at the last moment swooping, someone is chasing me but I'm busy with this, fly up, find another perch, jump and swoop again...

I'm happening by a house and end up inside.
There's a party going on, in another room there's some hand-drawn animation, its the first movie to be made by the creators of Southpark, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, there's hand scribbled pictures of Tarzan and then it turns into real life, in the next room there's a party, Trey and Matt are trying to get it all down...
In the next room, the party room, there's an orgy of sorts, young actresses I vaguely recognize, I'm trying to get Trey to explain to me how they got funding for this, their first venture, he's too busy going between being inside the movie to watching the movie to try and answer...
Strange dream, lurid, long, filled with peculiar details that I can't quite remember...

I'm in some Central American country, wet, humid, a large public washroom, urinals, showers, toilets, everything set with broken tiles and wet, wet, dripping wet, that uncomfortable wet that has me not wanting to walk around it at all and I haven't any shoes...
But I've conceived the idea of taking a ship, ferry, around the horn of South America, part road trip, part ferry, and I'm talking to J from work, he did the trip last year...."27 days it took me" he's telling me, and I'm thinking I can do it in less if only I can get on the next ferry...
Outside, humid, warm, grey clouds over the Atlantic, I'm imagining the long drive...

There's a bill in the mail from Shaw, it's about a hundred or so pages long, a brief note attached saying that they've underestimated my internet usage, this bill should catch me up. A hundred pages detailing all of my torrent downloads. The total bill around $1000.00, give or take, and I'm very, very annoyed, there's no way I'm going to pay this but I'm not sure I have time enough to challenge or dispute it...
(**Note: Probably related to the various measures being undertaken both privately and publicly to restrict internet access and usage, which have of late been receiving a lot of press)
