Hey you.<\/p>\n
Hey yourself.<\/p>\n
Whatcha doing?<\/p>\n
Wondering.<\/p>\n
About what?<\/p>\n
Nothing in particular.<\/p>\n
Sounds…uh…boring as fuck.<\/p>\n
I’m never bored!<\/p>\n
So you claim.<\/p>\n
It’s true. <\/p>\n
So give me an example of what your’re thinking about.<\/p>\n
I don’t think it’s thinking, exactly. It’s just wondering.<\/p>\n
For instance?<\/p>\n
I wonder if I could lean at just the right angle to see the flying pig on my back porch reflected on the countertop on my kitchen island.<\/p>\n
Wow.<\/p>\n
Did I claim to be thinking deep thoughts?<\/p>\n
Uh…no. What else?<\/p>\n
I wonder what it is in coffee beans that makes them smell so amazing.<\/p>\n
Chemicals…<\/p>\n
Right, magically in just the right combination to smell like THAT. If I believed in miracles, that would be one.<\/p>\n
That’s more interesting than the flying pig thing.<\/p>\n
Thanks. You don’t think reflections are interesting? I think seeing is fascinating.<\/p>\n
Seeing?<\/p>\n
Sure. All the rods and cones and the optic nerve and all that goes together and we process it and it’s like a movie in our head all the time. And if we look at things from different angles, literal or metaphorical, we see something very different.<\/p>\n
Now the shit’s getting deep.<\/p>\n
Fuck you.<\/p>\n
Heh.<\/p>\n
You’re the one who asked.<\/p>\n
I didn’t think it was so weird in there.<\/p>\n
You have a pretty good idea how weird it is in my head. A lot of it goes right out of my mouth into your ears.<\/p>\n
Very true.<\/p>\n
I thought that was one of the things you liked about me.<\/p>\n
Like. Present tense. I do.<\/p>\n
Then don’t dis the weirdness.<\/p>\n
Yes’m. <\/p>\n
