Hidden Symbols

 last night I dreamed that Agent Dale Cooper
      found you on Mount Scott
       watching the rain
          drizzle down
   with some girl you met
           in OKC
   and he told you to look behind you
       and you did
       and you saw
  me! wrapped up in a rainbow!
    not the usual kind, either
  it was brighter, baby!
    like Las Vegas neon!
    and I told you
   that the donuts were waiting
         for you
         at home
   and suddenly you 
      smelled vanilla
    so you knew
     it was true
   and you turned to
     your new
       girlfriend
    strange- she had mutated into
      a dancing dwarf
   ha! Now who are you going to watch the rain with?
       over here!
       over here!
         you can hug
           this rainbow
               and find
                    the pot of gold.
