Ideas, man !




Bloody hell, I have been sitting here waiting for words to come to me for the last half an hour.

Everything else came, my wife came and petted me once or twice, a flea came, said something intensely intelligent in my ears and left, the rain came and is still droning outside, the itch to take a leak came and I am still resisting it - You can’t always submit to the dictates of your body. The lights came on in many of the houses around, hundreds of sounds came, a chill came and tickled me on the inside, several spiders came, and one large ant came.

They were the silent types, did not say a single thing to me.

Anyway, I am pissed and angry. There has never been an occasion where the words have deserted me. They may act churlish, they may not appear right; they may drop me in ditches that I can’t come out off for sometime afterwards.

But they did come nevertheless, but not anymore.

You might have intelligently assumed by now that it’s due a lack of ideas in me. Well when did I have an idea last?

It must have been in my school days. I don’t remember it very clearly though. But it is coming back, being the only idea of my life.

I thought that the schools were a bad idea. I hadn’t read Ivan Illich then anyway, but I was sure that I was on to something big.

Nothing happened.

There are still schools out there aren’t there? So my single idea did not save the world.

After that I had a definite aversion to ideas. Don’t blame me on it; I was not blessed with a whole lot of intelligence like you guys are.

Ideas, man!

This day someone told me our own Seaweed is called by something else by the madam at the helm of my bureau.

Hell do I have an idea what that is all about?

Nil.

Did Seaweed take the words out of me? Well what if the poor fella did? Let him have it all, my bounty is everlasting; it won’t be exhausted by small scale pilfering.

Best of luck Seaweed, they did not bring any luck to me, you can have it all.

Make a big splash with them if you can, I shall watch from the sidelines.

But don’t shoot goals in your own post. ……………..


What more to add?

Well may be I will add an ad.

“Beware, you may be about to be attacked by ideas.”
