I went skiing last night on sand with no skis right to a ledge where I witnessed someone fall without causing it. I was accused of being somewhere I wasn’t invited after being invited so I skated away without skates. I came upon an encampment of police at the base of a concrete mountain that was too smooth to climb so I left with criminals. We all ran in separate directions but I was caught by wet cement up to my neck. I was eventually pulled out by the police with a baton between my teeth and brought to a 6 by 8 cell. I told them it was only inches, that I wouldn’t fit inside but I could wear it on my head. They did not resist. I put the cell on and could see through the slot. I saw myself skiing without skis and skating without skates. I saw that I was in unfamiliar territory. I saw that I did not belong. I was uninvited.
