Damn these thoughts
I lay in bed today thinking ; doing nothing else but thinking. Thoughts came and went - quickly and without hesitation.
Many of the thoughts didn't stay long enough for me to remember what they were. But this one thought kept coming back;
"You need to get out of bed and do something"
Get out of bed? Why? The blankets were warm, and getting up and out of bed wasn't a proposition I found to be particularly attractive.
It is at such times that you learn that thoughts have a mind of their own, because, even as I tried to ignore the thought, it kept coming back;
"You need to get out of bed and do something."
"Do what? It is cold out there."
The sun was up, but the temperature outside didn't to know that. It was cold, simply cold. But thoughts have no feelings. They don't feel cold. They are relentless. They just keep coming.
"You need to get out of bed and do something."
"This thought is going to drive me crazy", I thought. "This thought is going to drive me crazy", I thought.
Aah, two thoughts, now. I knew what I needed to do. I would let them talk to each other.
And here they go.
T1: You need to get out of bed and do something
T2: Something like what?
T1: I don't know. It's your life. Live it.
T2: Thats what I am doing. Lying in bed is part of living.
T1: So is being broke.
T2: I don't get it.
T1: I am just saying
T2: No, no, no. You can't just spring 'broke' on me and then say, "I am just saying."
T1: Ok, how much do you get paid for lying there?
T2: Nothing.
T1: That sounds enough
T2: Enough for what?
T1: I must go.
T2: ENOUGH FOR WHAT??????
T1: Have a lovely day.
T2: EENOUGGGHH FOOOR WHHAATTTT?
And just like that the thought was gone, leaving me uncertain and terrified. So, I got up and wrote this. Who knows, I might be a writer one day - making money out of organising words.
Now I must go and clean the yard.
