Cranium

Just a really short story on thinking.

When thinking the conscious thought, one uses a combination of symbols, sights, sounds, and memory. Most Mondays my intracranial operations misfire creating trialogue with me, myself, and I. Sometimes I find myself being an introvert, slipping into a confined room inside my head, where I make observations about oddly sized bicycles and tricycles. Oh the symphany of intracranial operations that happen in a day! The silent bursts of laughter, muttered insults, and superfluous remarks. My poor brain, buzzing from the constant stream of questions and daydreams, wobbling in my head trying it’s best to find some kind of equilibrium. It will only rest when I am dead and gone, and only exist in the supernatural.

Ah, highly amusing report from the skull-cave, the proverbial bats in the belfry.

What burbles through this labyrinth of cognition is an espresso blend of thoughts, feelings, sensations, intuitions -- a plethora of brouhaha.

You're hitting on something with this enjoyable bit of prose-poetic reflection. And that is the profound and enigmatic strangeness of the devices called human, in this case focusing on the cabeza.

Your poetic voice is like that of a bemused observer of a beehive -- one that is the physical vector of her own ruminations -- how strange!

Good work.

What happens with unconscious thoughts? Or are they just weird sensations? I know I can speak without thinking (I just did)

....personal and entertaining.
we are not all the same but,
for a silly, crazy few--
life is more than 'what 2 do?'

[No one]

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who --

has multiple and conflicting conversations echoing in
his head.
And
has daydreams about tricycles and bicycles.

Oh the symphany(sp?) of intracranial operations that happen in a day, indeed. You've done a good job of capturing a moment's and simultaneously, a lifetime's, worth of extraneous thought within a few short lines.

[Scott Irvine]

This is stunning.
