Dream as Paco y Manolo


Artefacts: First issue of Kink, 2006. / Documentary film, ‘Everything at Once’, directed by Alberto Fuguet, 2021. 
Both watch porno independently
Dream separately

Now
Paco sleeps deeply
Takes a dull red pill before wanking and passing out
Sees crisp images in quick succession
Always in present tense
In action
Almost, but never fully, completing
Pushing on to the new, to the next
All-you-can-eat buffet sort of dream

Brothers spinning
Light revolving
Spit congealing
Fear failing 
Serifs sharpening
Sneakers scruffing
Legs lifting
City receding  
Calf muscles tightening
Ass clenching   
Leaves flirting
Dust levitating
Ink sinking
Adam’s apple protruding
Nipples hardening
Pits unfurling
T-shirts slipping
Obscuring
Beards vanishing
Metal hanging
Low, heavy
Gravity extending
White briefs pulling
Filling
Red car swerving
Doors swinging
Knees gritting
Grazing
Wrists stretching
Bark crumbling
Collapsing
Scraping skin 

Then
Manolo sleeps with ear plugs
Turns restlessly
Wakes to every noise
Images falling to the next image 
Anxiously replaced before each has time to develop
Snap, snap
Like a fast capture shaken in the hot air

Brothers
Brr, Brr, Brr, Brr, Brr, Brr, Brr
