Confloofsion (floofinition) – Intimate information or insights people share with their pets.
In use: “Living in the small travel trailer with a long-haired black cat named Bob, he shared confloofsions about his drug-use and mental health during the cold and snowy Minnesota days. Speaking them aloud helped him understand who he was and what he faced. The cat never did anything more than nestle against him and purr.”
A beard and mustache like smudges on the face
long and thick brown hair pinned up to play baseball
faded bell-bottom blue jeans with a large hole in the rear
and no undies underneath
white high-top canvas shoes
hand-painted fluorescent orange
a worn white tee-shirt with a green marijuana leaf in the center of the chest
under by a torn military fatigue shirt signed by everyone met
worn open like a jacket
quoting Asimov, Clapton, Kirk, and Clemente
reading Leary, Chekov, Dumas, Tolkien, Heller, and Knowles
listening to the Stones, Humble Pie, Cream, Jimi, Janis, and Bob
dancing to Sly, Chicago, Three Dog Night, and EW&F
runnin’, walkin’ and bikin’ to go anywhere and everywhere
through any weather and across any terrain
That’s the fourteen-year-old that I remember.
Don’t you love it when you’re outside with a hat on, and a large spider starts running around on your hat brim’s underside, and then he drops down on a thread and swings onto your sunglasses like Tarzan, and then races onto your cheek and makes a dash over your mustache for your nostril?
Yes, yes, I really love it.
Really.
Ah, nature.
I was sorting my dreams while I was walking this morning, which turned into a conversation about demons. My recent dreams are clearly trending to reflect my doubts and hopes — my demons — with an added dimension that the dream meister is trying to encourage me. This dynamic creates some interesting and memorable dreams.
Out of this, my mind twisted on demons, added dragons, and presto-chango, began streaming Imagine Dragons’ “Demons” (2013).
Enjoy.
