I dreamt that I lied to a friend-acquaintance about some relationships or relational dynamics, personal history, I said I had been with someone who I hadn’t not on purpose but by simply not intervening to say—that is not what happened, something else happened—to instead watch the narrative she had corded onto play out in her dialogue, kept from swerving it back the way of mine. In the end, I found that few in our circle were listening to me anyhow and in order to change that I had to circle back to her and tell her the real story, in other words, the truth of some affairs, even as they were trivial, not even to save my reputation (for the falsehoods could be spread, checked out) but to deepen our amity.
