'Cuddling'...reversed...is 'Curdling'

 





Shopping, online, with a friend that is decorating her infant grandson's new 'room'.....I noticed the preponderance of creatures, that would just make a meal of a baby, 'cartoonized' as lovingly cute 'friends'.....a talking, laughing shark; a T-Rex; a pack of 'cute' wild wolves; a lion-King; a cereal-selling Tony Tiger......So? The baby 'grows up' and is told, later, to fear all these Creatures......I did 'nix' the stork, in a top hat, carrying a diapered infant in its beak and a poster of a blue-eyed blond 'Jesus', seated on a jeweled throne, with half a dozen gratuitously Anglo-Saxon children (and one Asian, one Black and one Native American)......at his feet....."Pink would be a great color for the walls." I bemusedly commented........"NO!.....'it's going to be a BOY!", she replied......o.k......o.k....get the candy-eating reptile, then!

CONFABULATORIAL INTERSTITUAL COLLUSIONS FROM WITHIN THE COMPARTMENTALIZED MEMORY BANKS OF NOT QUITE RANDOM CHEMICAL CONNECTIONS THAT SURFACE, THEN DECAY, RECOMBINING AND RECONSTUCTURALIZING...AGAIN AND AGAIN....

  ....from a note. over a dozen years ago, to a friend, whom, at that time, I knew as "Chaz" and with whom i've shared many 'dialogues' over the past couple of decades, although we have never met in the "real world", but only within the contexts of Myspace and Facebook: Re: mental illness as the burdensome lagniappe of Creativity...the compartmentalization, then unravelling, of associative collusions within the mass of cortical tissues......:.....It is not so much that eccentricity is incomprehensible, for  i don't seek to discover the periapsis of intellect or the common, intersections that we share......somewhere between 24 and 42, so to speak, wherein the trajectory of random thoughts collide in expressions that are both recognized as "real", yet, at the same instant, are transient and unknowable........i keep, at my bedside, 7 boxes, varying in both size and design, materials of construction and contents.......At one point in time....we...
