"FIVE YEARS AGO" from Get Stoned and Read This Book CC: Another bong hit? TW: Oh yeah. (Bong hits.) TW: Dude, check this out. CC: What is it? TW: Just some shit I've been working on. CC: What's it about? TW: Nothing specific. Whacked shit. I write it down sometimes so I remember it. (Pause. Read.) CC: What the fuck does this mean? (Pause. Read.) TW: I have no idea. CC: Dude, that's fucked up! (Laughs). TW: (Laughs) I know, dude. CC: Round a doubles for that shit? TW: Round a triples for that shit. CC: Round a triples? That's a bold statement. (Bong hits. Three apiece. Zoning out.) CC: This looks like it says 'deja vu'. TW: Oh shit. I know what that one means. Do you ever get deja vu? CC: Yeah. TW: Dude, I get crazy deja vu. Like, sometimes I remember dreaming about something and then it happens exactly like I dreamt it. I mean, I can remember thinking, "That was a weird thing to dream." And then it happens. It's fucked up. CC: That is fucked up. TW: Alright, ready for this? Let's say for argument's sake that I actually am remembering a dream when I have deja vu. That means that at the point when I dreamt it, I was seeing the future. CC: What? TW: Okay. I think when I have deja vu I'm remembering a dream. That's my definintion of deja vu-- that's what it feels like for me. So at the original point in time when I'm dreaming it, I was seeing the future, which is now my deja vu. You see what I'm saying? CC: Yeah, dude. Totally. (Pause) Shit, man, I am fucked up. TW: Me, too. (Pause) Shit. (Pause. More zoning.) CC: (Looking at the scribbles) Dude, I gotta show you some of my photographs. |
