Sy naps e

....so, I can never remember ...is it prick your pick or pick your prick...anyway...i was rummaging through the attic in my mind trying to clean out some of the clutter when I came across this little gem...just do it...so I spray painted it on the inside of my cranial cap...but a procrastinator am i....and when your mind is like a fish riding a unicycle on a high wire while juggling flaming gobs of napalm while humming wager's ride of the valkeries  with only one good eye,the other having been scratched pressing too hard against the peephole(see gnomes) you stop to scratch your head and all is lost.now I know what you are thinking...why would a fish do all that when they can just swim away, just go with me on this o.k..I knew that i had to clear my mind 'cause the great budda was coming over for lunch and he hates clutter....i know what you are thinking, how can a jolly fat man hate anything...but look at santa...think he likes getting crammed into that little sleigh, i mean it's much better now with the gps and all, doesn't take nearly as long...he now has time to stop and have a few with st. patty and how they both just love to chase the rabbit around, claiming they will make omelettes of his eggs...anyway....i dipped a toe in the babbling brook and hit an undercurrant that pulled me in way down deep...brain freeze as i almost drown in these quick running thoughts when i spot the bow of a ship sticking out of the water so i grab hold....the fish drops one on the flaming globes and it hits the water and i watch as steam rises ...suddenly i hear a whistle and i remember i have water on for tea...well it is time for me to go, maybe later i can clear some of that clutter i was telling you about...but then again, probably not.

'so i spray painted it on the inside of my cranial cap' i love that line and something about those words you chose. They could be simple and normal words for some reason i love your use of them here. the way you describe your mind is perfect! and honestly that is my mind everyday (though maybe because i have ADD hahaha)! you never cease to amaze me with your creativity and amazing ability to write wonderful that leaves me wanting to read more and more.

A perfectly painted tangent, loved it. Witty, funny, deep and gripping it reads wonderfully thanks for sharing it - ATC

[terry smith]

[roarke]

as you well know Terry, sane/insane... doesn't really matter does it? Couple a typos but other than that, yer gonna be hugely popular with g-force riding astronauts. And I'll take the cake donuts with chocolate frosting and sprinkles... even though I'm irrationally phobic about sprinkles, they remind me of my meds.....

[terry smith]

[roarke]

I love this piece
how you explore thoughts
its just simply genius
a moment with yourself
wondering about the intentions of someone
Learning that a fish is a fish
No matter how many times you try to grab it and dissect it open
somehow life stops you to remind you
If you were to ever admire a person
You ought to leave somethings unsaid, unknown
Misunderstood
it just is that way

Rummaging through the attic of my mind...Love that phrase. So much better than "I know I left it here some place". I think you should leave the clutter where it is Terry, if it brings you thoughts like this. And all thought while waiting for the kettle to boil.
I so get the weird tangents thoughts take, with speed and dexterity that leaves us knowing we will never, ever find all the answers to all it throws at us.
Brilliant and original piece of writing. Superb.

Thanks my brain will not be quiet it drips at night like a leaky faucet so I keep a notebook on the bed next to me, so I don't have to get out of bed to write it down.

[alifeacoustic]

Wise. I usually remember to do that about three seconds before I need to run into the kitchen barefooted to grab my notebook and pen.

Sy naps e... Co llaps e. :-)

Reading this is like watching your thoughts streaming endlessly across a monitor screen.


Fascinating. Beccy.
