Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
As I slipped from dreams back into my life, this song was there. Don’t know why; it wasn’t featured in any dream (that I can remember) and I don’t recall hearing it yesterday. Maybe something about going somewhere, other than walks through the hills or a drive through town to check the situation (or the traditional office-bathroom-kitchen-office round trip) slipped the song into my consciousness.
But here it is, “Old Town Road” by Lil Nax X, 2018.
Maybe it should be.
no going out
no coming in
stripped down to himself
he became essential
for he was all he had
Talking Floofs (floofinition) – Amerian floof rock (flock) band formed in New Floof City in the mid-seventies and active until the early ninties.
In use: “Several Talking Floofs songs were floofstream hits, and one, “Once in A Flooftime”, was inducted into the Flock & Roll Hall of Fame.”
Neighfloof (floofinition) – Animal that lives nearby; pet that belongs to a nearby house.
In use: “Although a neighfloof (who belonged to the man next door) (the cat used to belong to the girl next door, but the girl grew up, graduated, and left, leaving her cat behind), the friendly little tortie had house privileges, sleeping on the bed and cuddling on laps.”
I clean up
like I’m going somewhere
and dress up
like I’m going somewhere
and then sit down
like I’m going somewhere
and surf the net
like I’m going somewhere
Looking out the window
at the cars parked like graves
wondering who else is looking out
unseen behind distant glass
as we all look out for one another
looking out for the virus
looking out for a change.
Just a simple song, originating with the thought, we got this. From 1982, the Go-Go’s with “We Got the Beat”.
