An Addendum to that Waking Dream

Oh, sometimes there is snow on the ground in a white blanket and the trees are black but not in a bad way because their branches are covered in snow.

And yet the sky is red, glowing brilliant orangish red. which is really just novel and it looks so nice with the white snow and the woods and the black lake that does not ripple and does not reflect. But the snow does have a red shine where it rounds on the branches of the trees.

it recalls when i was in the boy scouts and they had us all in the planetarium and the guy who was showing us the planetarium because this was a private show (i think we were sleeping over, "camping", in the science center) started playing around with that great spinning armned satellite of a projector they have there and he made the whole dome glow red and he said:

"If you ever step out your front door and see a sky like this RUN, no, or, I guess you just shouldn't go outside, or, well, call your parents.... hmm... I guess it doesn't matter what you do because it's the nucular apocalypse or something... well, lets just hope none of us ever see a sky like this."

and maybe that was also what i was thinking of when i was on a long walk down the beach in the middle of the night and i looked out over the dark ocean to the horizon and was shocked and horrified to see a great immense blood red glowing ball perched there just above the surface of the sea looking like nothing so much as an optical illusion or a hallucination. and i thought that i had better sit down in case i was feeling dizzy because i was obviously either totally fucked up or that was a mushroom cloud and europe had exploded or a ship had a bomb dropped on it or maybe a volcano erupted... in the middle of the ocean... but it wasn't moving, and i wasn't dizzy, so i figured it was a ship with a red circular sail the size of a city and a huge spotlight on it but that was rediculous and so i just kept walking and it wasn't until i looked back out and saw that it was a little higher and oranger that i realized that it was, of course, the moon.
