Last night I dreamed that I stole someone's bicycle. It was one of those little hipster bikes you see young ruffians riding around on. I don't know what you call them, and I can't find a picture, but basically they look like bikes for little kids, but full grown men are riding them.

So I stole one, and rode it around for awhile. I was amazed at how easily it handled. I could go up and down steps with no problem. I was like a wheeled extension of my feet. Actually, in waking reality a couple of days ago I saw someone riding one, and he just jumped over a large puddle, just like he was stepping over it. I was impressed, and envious.

But I felt guilty about the bike I stole in the dream, so I put it back, only not in the same place, because I didn't want anyone to see me.

I still believe that I will see my bike somewhere. I check out every bike that rides by, hoping that it will be mine. But what would I do if it were? Would I chase the person? Would I yell and scream? How likely would it be that I would actually catch up with him? And what if I did catch him? What would I do then?
