mexican food at midnight

i have a crazy dream
about
a woman
killing a man with poisoned
jordan almonds
handing him a few
as they sit
in the waiting room
at a doctor's office.
they have an argument
as they both sit there.
she doesn't like him.
he reminds her of
her last husband, so she
murders him. handing him
the candy before
she leaves.
 somehow i get involved
and call the police.
time travel is involved
as i track her
down through the white
pages, finding her name
on the rolodex at
the doctor's office.
i wake up exhausted
and almost believe that the
dream was real.
no more mexican food
before
bedtime.
i can see their faces even
now as i empty my candy
bowl into the trash.
