Last night I dreamt I was
a male genie with royal blue
silk pants and found
my doppelganger dancing with a woman
shackled in chains in a secret
room emitting unbearably bright light.

“Your double is here” the woman said
and the other Genie as he opened
the golden doors spoke angrily

“I will kill him for there can only be one!”
When I heard this I ran as fast as I could
down labyrinthine hallways that led
to a garden paradise with a crystalline pool.

I jumped into the water and my Genie
doppelganger, not far behind, tackled
and strangled me. And then something
very bizarre happened.

We made love, and I
transformed back into
my mortal woman self.
