Some professor-types with white beards and black coats approach a door with a 3-D wrought-iron woman's torso for a window and loudly implore what they hope will be a nude model to come down and fill up the silhouette so they can touch her skin through the bars.

EDITOR'S NOTE

This is just the fourth dreamlet of five that night--thought what night, or even what year, isn't sure. 1990, give or take a few years; but as an image it still seems (sadly) current. I worked in a big unversity, and this is still a perfect image of male academics' iron barring of messy ol' sex/women/flesh/life...
