CEDRIC//

MANDARC//
how's the dreaming?

CEDRIC//
okay. sporatic
no better, no worse than it was when I was young

MANDARC//
cool cool
glad to hear it

CEDRIC//
last night

CEDRIC//
last night
i dreamt I was at the airport
u ever been to an airport, Mandarc?

MANDARC//
uhh
not really, no
i've seen Terminal
or was it The Terminal
the one where he's stuck there

CEDRIC//
ok so you get the idea
but mine's at baggage claim
or the ticket booth

CEDRIC//
anyway
i'm there and i'm waiting for my bag
only they never bring it to me

CEDRIC//
there are other people waiting with me
so i assume it's not random or my fault
but it seems like it's just gone forever

CEDRIC//
but the weird part is
my old friend, or at least somebody I used to know
is there waiting with me
and he's gotta know me and I know I know him
but we just ignore each other
stand next to each other avoiding eye contact
and even someone who never went to high school should understand
was it all just pretend, or
was the mutual hatred, either of self or of other
brooding there since the beginning

CEDRIC//
but i don't think it was about him per se

MANDARC//
deep man
very deep
