Another Dream

i am walking outside a large grocery store/i am discussing St. Patrick's Day plans with a friend/we part ways/he continues walking and i go into the store/inside i see that it has been temporarily converted to a TV studio where a live broadcast is happening/it is Lennon and McCartney circa 1965-66 and they are singing "I've Just Seen A Face" on acoustics/Lennon is singing lead for some reason and he is fucking up badly/McCartney just rolls with it and they manage to finish the tune together/immediately a teenage boy and girl run up to them/the girl hands Paul a large sponge the size of a loaf of bread/they are grinning and expecting some comedy improv/Paul obliges them by waving it over their foreheads like the pope giving a blessing/they laugh and so does the audience/Lennon takes the sponge-pretends it's a ringing telephone-answers it and says"Yes, your Holiness-Right away!"/then he clobbers McCartney with the sponge/audience roars and applauds/the show is over-audience files out-i stay to watch the crew break down the set/an overweight man approaches and hands me a stick of gum/there is no brand name visible because the outside paper wrapper is gone but i know it is Wrigley's Doublemint gum/the last thing the crew does is turn off giant light switches on the wall by swinging toward them on huge swings suspended from the ceiling like the ones in the circus/right before the last one is turned off, the overweight man returns/he says to me and the crew and the empty audience, "One more thing - You all can suck my fucking dick!"/he then unzips and exposes himself/the manager behind bulletproof glass calls out over the intercom, "That's it ! Now, everybody start over now!"/all of the employees return and begin setting up a buffet-style meal featuring whole wheat tortillas/i grab a couple tortillas,begin eating them, and walk away/
