based on prompts by:
Amygdala: flag on the moon; a womans purse; a murdered man; six legged frog; tractor with no wheels; runaway
Haredawg: sleeping in the devils bed; high sticking; smoke em if you got em
Its no use waking up when youre sleeping in the devils bed, crawling out from between sticky, dirty shits from a long night of whisky, street hockey fights you still have the bruises from a bout of high-sticking that the ref didnt see, and didnt care to be informed of. They say theres a flag on the moon an American flag, but its all just a gag, see a trick to tame the masses of a tangled mind like those pictures they show you of what happens in nuclear disasters (do we finally have a leader that can say nuclear?) of six legged frogs, how the worlds going to hell in hand basket because were not green, were orange, tangled up in a mess of drug abuse, over-indulgence in sex, drugs, violence the smoke em if you got em mentality of the young and uninformed.
I stared, silently in response at the man at the bus stop next to me. What do you say to that really? Crazy people in the world, man. Crazy. He took a moment to dig in what looked like a womans purse, looking for his pipe or tobacco or whatever the hell he was smoking but Im pretty sure I had an idea that regular tobacco wasnt it. This man was a tractor with no wheels looney .crazy. He was gonna end up a murdered man, if he wasnt more careful who he went spouting off to like that. I wanted to run away, really.
Never know what youre going to come across in this crazy city. I felt like a player in a grandiose game of scavenger hunt, checking bizarre statements off my list. Sometimes life is funny like that.
