I awoke this morning with an incredible idea that I couldn't wait to "do" something with.* This was going to be the envy of all those who seem to spew verbal genius as easily as writing/saying their names. It must have come to me in a dream or something in between, as I woke up murmuring the words that were going to end my current malaise. So, I ruminated this thought over and over in my mind until I worked up the motivation to get out of bed and go over to my computer. Then, I typed these amazingly evocative words: "God ate my homework."
As soon as they were out and on the screen I realized there was absolutely nothing I could do with this idea. That's the way it is with most things that seemed incredible while you were dreaming them, and in the haze of transitioning to wakefulness. On the other hand, I imagine a psycho- or other analyst would be able to diagnose a myriad of "disorders" that would inspire such genius.
*(for the record, I am allowing myself to end this sentence with a preposition because I can't think of a better way to word it at this time.)
