onomatopoeic whimsy

It’s like a mountain of tinder and paper and rags and kindling. Doused in gasoline and grease. Its like every once in a while someone does a circle around the mountain with a lit torch. Sometimes the wind will blow an ember on to the mountain and a small fire will start. It burns for a while, but eventually rain comes, or someone will smother it. Every one can see it, and every one dreads the day the whole thing catches. Nothing would be able to put it out then. Some folks are secretly hoping for it though.

I have a dream and it comes true, spark.

The phrase “it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission” is stuck in my head, then it’s uttered in a TV show I’m watching about people with super powers. smolder.

I open a text from her saying she wishes someone would drop a piano on her head, at the same time a piano appears as the opening shot of the current scene in the show.catch.

I hear a voice say “precog?”

There it is! Whoosh! Small fire this time thankfully.

Song lyric is stuck in my head, “I get the feeling something bad’s about to happen to me”

Today I’m thinking of this funny thing from when my parents were kids in their villages, and a bit from my childhood as well.

“schweeeeee tohm!” This is the name they used for toilets that weren’t much more than holes in the ground. This is the sort of place I’m from, humble beginnings huh? Anyway, the name is an onomatopoeia, its the sound anything dropped in was supposed to make. You know that long whistle and crash you hear in silly media when something is falling from great heights? weeeeeeee BOOM! Crash.

It’s funny, you should see them talk about those toilets. Their eyes really light up I swear their faces transform into their childhood visages once more. Such serious people saying such a silly thing. It’s really funny.

I know I’m crazy, its okay if youre crazy and you know youre crazy, yknow? The problem is I’m starting to believe some of the stuff yeah? Even as I type this it’s like

“what if you’re not crazy? what if you really can see things before they come? Mom always said you could when you were a kid, when you were closer to god! and lately yknow you’ve been getting closer to god again! with the fasting, and the abstinence! You asked for signs, what if he’s giving you back your powers as a sign!”

Ahh man

Something Wrong, I Hold My Head…
