scraveling burberry pies, or conqueso the conquistador stumps about on peglegs built for two. there’s dreams and then there’s dreams.
aside from the scrabbling and the hunchbacked caterwauling (or bellringing or spellswinging), it’s all the time devoted (a devotional writ in glue) to carrying on about this or that. but, contrariwise, there’s a sense that, wow, if the disasterations can be held at bay for just, like, five more minutes, who knows what fiery blossom of passionate effulgence–a gargantuan explosion of spherendrical cakes and ale–might be happenstancing?
transmutation of simple elements or a transmogrification of the brainmatter which makes up the day to day. or, rather, should say takes up the day to day. carries that mundanity as far as it will go and farther. who’s to say that’s bad?
mumble mumble. ???
jove cracks a joke and the dies split with laughter. the concatenation of scurrilous scatalogical and dreary blowsy fleshisms. what body would, if we could, inhavit, if we had no other?

or, if you can call it thought, i mean and not just the meandering fizzing and futzing of some neurochemical stew.
The great cosmic kitten has taken that thread of thought and bunched it in a wad behind the sofa, where you won’t see it again until you move out. You will look at it and wonder whether it was something inspired or just a hairball. Somehow, that is always tragic. Even if it was a hairball.
oh blessed hairballs…
here’s hoping i find many of them when i finally do get the couch moved out the door…
