once pristine . texts . dreams

all the places are parts of my life and all the people are parts of my self . there are two houses next door to each other, they are very close and the properties are joined seamlessly by lawn . there are many windows on each so it is easy to see inside . my house is more finished, the interior of the house next door is being worked on by a builder, that house is surrounded by equipment and work tables . i leave my house suddenly and walk next door, am i also a builder, i am coming over to work somehow . i place something on one of the work tables, a book? . and i look in through the windows, but instead of the usual builder it is a beautiful woman inside, she is working alone on the house today . she comes outside and takes off her clothes, i am afraid to approach her, then another man appears and she is asleep on a blanket, she is covered by another blanket, the man is naked and pulls her sleeping on a blanket out to the front of the house, the man also lies down to take a nap . i go around to the back of my house and on the way i see several workers all sleeping in the sun, taking midday naps . i go back into my own house, i enter the house from the upper level of the back, where i see a couple of people sleeping comfortably in the sunshine . i see my wife inside, she is naked, i remark to her that its as though we are in europe, people are taking midday naps
