My childhood bedroom had a built in desk, the kind you pulled open so the writing surface hung from the wall on chains. I used that desk to fill huge books with angsty teen-aged writing.

“consult my pillow”. I love that line! I, too, have disjointed morning dreams. They make great fodder for writing, don’t you think?
I agree with you. Thanks for your comment.
