It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. This weeks prompt is “bodily functions.” Yup, you heard me right. Flipping bodily functions. Linda Hill says we can write about one or a whole bunch of bodily functions. If you would like to engage in frying your brain as I do each week, please visit Linda Hill’s blog and find out how easy it is to do just that. Here is the link. https://lindaghill.com/2018/08/10/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-august-11-18/
Bodily Functions by John W. Howell © 2018
“Why so glum chum?”
“I just went up the Hill so to speak and got my prompt for today.”
“You always love these prompts. Is this one different?”
“Not different just a big challenge.”
“How so?”
“The prompt is bodily functions.”
Bruuuuhahahahah. You have to be kidding.”
“No. I’m serious. We can write about one or a whole bunch. My problem is I can only think of one.”
“Oh come on. It can’t be that bad. What is the one?”
“Pooping.”
“Whoa. You can’t write about that. Yours is a family friendly blog.”
“Yeah tell me. I did think of another.”
“Okay with some caution I’ll ask what are you thinking.”
“Breathing.”
“Yeah, now there you go. Talk about breathing.”
“I feel better already. Let’s see there are different kinds of breathing.”
“Go on.”
“When you are running you breathe harder.”
“Good.”
“When you sweat and run your breath is different. Wait, another bodily function, sweat.”
“Excellent. I think you’re going to kill this.”
“When you are quiet and resting your breath is easy.”
“Almost poetic. Go on.”
“When you kiss someone your breathing can become deeper. I got it. Saliva production is another bodily function.”
“You are the master.”
“Where was I? Oh, yes kissing. Makes the heart beat faster. Heartbeat has to be another bodily function.”
“You are taking strange paths to get there, but I have to say you are getting there.”
“Then as the kissing gets more heated—”
“Stop.”
“What do you mean, ‘stop”‘
“You are now starting to concern me again. Where are you going with this?”
“I was going to mention goosebumps. What is wrong with goosebumps?”
“Okay. Nothing wrong with goosebumps. Proceed.”
“Then if all works well there’s the orgasm.”
“One toke over the line my friend. One toke over the line.”

Great dialogue, John. It’s been a long time since I’ve thought of the song, “One Toke Over the Line.” You’ve brought me through the decades and bodily functions. What a fun way to start the morning! 😀

John,
I had a feeling his mind had traveled too far for it to just become suitable for the work (and family) place that easily. I mean . . he ALMOST made it through . . . almost.
Peace . . . and Brewer and Shipley
