A month later one of them submerged
from the carpeting and sky rocketed up to the ceiling
like a tiny UFO. It wanted my nose to join it.
Next thing I knew I was missing my vertebrae,
sequined maggots were stitched to the top of my ears
and invertebrate inventory was being conducted
on my hair..."

Burke, Geoff Sawers, and Peter Mladinic!Coffins rose up - I’m cloaked in red hood—spinning - bobbing to the Earth's surface - she sits on a stool behind a plastic barrier - wears a mask just as we all do right now - my dream notes are confusing and filled with dark images - sharp, dripping canines - my inbox is filled with stark reminders - not that big a deal unless you are the one in the box - They all hate you but none understand you - Silk webs wrap half a hawthorn - I might paint my face so that my face is like a mask - bleached spine on a library shelf - A mole in the middle of my forehead grew into an eye - Blink and you'll never blink again - Don’t stop till I say Stop.Dive in HERE - https://13myna.blogspot.com/

I find it weirdly and uncomfortably bothersome when unvaccinated people post condolences about COVID deaths. Not to say they're not bothered and upset by the death, but what do they think caused it? Something other than the COVID, from which they choose to stay unvaccinated?
If after seeing other people they know (or family members or friends of people they know) die from COVID, they STILL don't bother getting vaccinated, what does that mean?
Is it because they think COVID can't affect them or they think the vaccine doesn't work (or has deadly side effects)?
Or because they tell themselves that all the people who die from COVID are old weaklings who were going to die anyway?
Or because they're too lazy to think and plan until something bad actually happens (and maybe still too lazy to think and plan even after something bad actually happens to someone they know)?
Or maybe they just don't really care?
Of course everyone is going to die at some point, but who wants to die from something that could have been prevented (or made significantly milder) with a vaccine?

Malfunctioning Tampon Dispenser Dream
Not sure how to interpret this odd little dream last night (or at least the part I remember). I was in a public restroom that had one of those tampon dispensers where you stick in coins to have it pop out tampons. But the dispenser was malfunctioning and instead of tampons, a bunch of colorful masks were sticking out of its slots. Nobody else was in the restroom, so I quickly stole some of the masks and stuck them in my purse. Then I walked out of the restroom and was in some crappy college bar from which everyone was gone and there was trash all over the floor. Half empty plastic cups, wet wads of paper towels, no people other than me.
