11/8/23 Patterned Pants

There was a line drawing on white paper, on the ground (?) outside of my backyard home in Long Island. It was of me, but crudely drawn. Also written on it was a short list of two songs: Flightless Bird by Iron & Wine, and I Believe by Caroline Polachek. I woke up singing Flightless Bird and feeling sadness and nostalgia for a past relationship.

I went back to sleep and dreamt of my best childhood friend. We went out to a bar even though I wasn't drinking. There were flashes of "memories", though they were not true memories. There were a series of snapshots of me, her, and another friend jumping in midair at a county fair. My pants changed patterns in each snapshot.
