In which Ani proves she had a brain once (probably)
I had a thought.
It moved through quickly but I held it for an instant in a cavernous corner. It breathed. I shook life into it and then let it find its way back. I wasn’t sure where it was headed and I wanted to know. I tried to follow its wispy yellow tail as it vanished through the air. I wasn’t quick enough.
It was a bastard fleeting thought.
It might have been an original thought, too. It had all the makings of a thought that’s never been thought before, ever. Transient. Aloof. Ephemeral. In colour. It was a good thought, I think. At least it might have been, if I could have held onto it long enough to validate its sorry life.
I am sad now. Fucking thoughts.

You had a thought?! A whole thought?! Really?!
Pah. Not fair.
Last time I had a thought was during the miner’s strike in 1984. I was 13. I think the thought concerned the relative merits of Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. But I can’t be sure. I’ve forgotten it now.
Anyway, that was the last thought I ever had.
Fucking thoughts. Yes.

Yes! I had one too! It kept trying to catch up and mate with some other ones too, but now all the little fuckers have escaped me.

Ah yes, I had one of those once, too. It was brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I’m sure it must have been. If only I could remember for sure.

Never mind thoughts - HAS ANYONE SEEN THE OTHER HALF OF ME?! HELP! HELP! HELP!

I’m over here. Although I am currently being eaten by a dog. Um.

Okay, all of you just need to bloody stop making comments that are more humorous than my actual posts. Seriously. I am very insecure about my ability to be funny. And you are putting me to shame. And making me laugh. But more, putting me to shame. So just quit it. [But don’t really.]

I’m sure it’ll come back to you, like an escaped budgie.
Oh hang on, they tend to get eaten.

Fucking thoughts are always fleeting. As much as the real thing may be. Hmm, well, yeah, you know what I mean.
