That one where you have to dance in front of your
entire fifth grade class again but this time they are
all hedgehogs and you brought your least-flattering
leotard and they all laugh at you
The dream where all of your spoons have been replaced
with baby hedgehogs and all of your baby hedgehogs
have been replaced with spoons
That classic trope where a clown is chasing you and
a small crowd of hedgehogs is mocking your poor
running form even though they know it’s because of
your flat feet
The one where you are underwater, drowning, and
are forced to watch an ill-choreographed hedgehog
water ballet
Sonic-themed sex dream
The one where you’re giving a class presentation when
you look down and realize that you’re totally naked.
The hedgehog in the front row is sort of into it, though
The dream where there is no hedgehog but you know
that it is only a dream because the hedgehog is
watching you sleep, waiting for tomorrow
