Dreams<\/span>

last night<\/span>
I had a dream<\/span>
I saw God cruising the<\/span>
Mission in a BMW convertible<\/span>
with the top pulled down<\/span>
Puff Daddy blaring from the<\/span>
Bose stereo sound system<\/span>
his hair was thick<\/span>
full and flowing<\/span>
his shirt unbuttoned showing<\/span>
a thick mange of manly hair<\/span>
Jesus was sitting on the<\/span>
passenger side, looking a bit pale<\/span>
adjusting the dials on the radio<\/span>
dressed in a pair of worn jeans<\/span>
sporting a long beard down<\/span>
to his sandals<\/span>
I kept a respectable distance<\/span>
from behind, trying to take down<\/span>
their license number, but knew<\/span>
I was doomed when a giant Condor<\/span>
swept down from the sky<\/span>
hitting my hood straight on<\/span>
and sending me into a spin<\/span>
forcing me off the road<\/span>
<\/span>

Winans – Dreams – 2<\/span>
<\/span>
The last thing I saw was God<\/span>
on his cell phone<\/span>
and said a prayer that he was calling<\/span>
9-1-1, as Jesus flipped the bird<\/span>
to a tail-gaiter who suddenly<\/span>
veered off the road<\/span>
hitting a telephone poll<\/span>
as God and Jesus exchanged high-fives<\/span>
laughing as they approached the freeway<\/span>
heading South down Highway One<\/p>\n
