Edward Dorn

Had a dream last night where I was sitting alone in the kitchen of
a strange old split-level apartment which evidently belonged to
Mike Price. Ed Dorn arrived from the land of the dead just to
visit. I was glad to see him but he was tired & subdued & wanted
to take a nap. A little while later a big Native American woman
knocked at the door. She had 5 pairs of cowboy boots in her
pickup truck that belonged to Ed. I brought them in. Time
passed. I peeked into the room where Ed was napping. It was a
total wreck—furniture tipped over, debris strewn everywhere,
lamp broken, etc. Ed was gone. Just then Price walked in. I told
him about Ed but he wasn’t concerned. He grabbed some food &
left. I looked around & realized that the 5 pairs of cowboys boots
were also gone. Then I woke up.

I remembered later what Ed had told me in the dream—“Just
make sure to put away some money so you can die someplace warm.”

The heroine was on heroin
as was the hero
She’s wearing her atomic kimono
& he’s at ground zero
