Musical Pipe Dream: James and I are standing in line for the Little Mermaid ride. The wait is about 1 hour and 45 minutes and it’s 90 degrees. In the line maze, I start blowing bubbles. Bubbles are kissing kids’ faces and clinging to hair sprayed hair. James’s hands are both painted. The right one is painted like Flounder and the left one is painted like Sebastian. The Sebastian hand is perched on my left shoulder. The Flounder hand is floating just above my right shoulder. I start to sing and nobody seems to care. I’m overwhelmed with happiness and confidence. I just want to be part of that world.

Musical Pipe Dream: It’s 3AM and I’m at a CVS. I’m picking up a dog leash and Gatorade. The fluorescent lights illuminate the blue and blue-grey colored carpet tiles. Nobody’s at the cash register and as I wait for somebody to come out from the back room, this song is playing over the speakers in the ceiling.
