I said to my Muse, "Poor, poor Muse, you have become a fleeting thing. One minute you have these wonderful words of inspiration or a fantastic idea with just the perfect title! Then The Brain gets distracted, or waylaid by something or the other, then whammo - The Muse disappears and The Brain is left holding the bag with a blank stare!
'Oh you poor thing, what will it take to get you back?" Asked the Brain.
"Some chocolate? I hear tell you love, love, LOVE chocolates!" "Can I bribe you to come out?" "Here, have a Rocher...one of your favorites! No? Hmmm..."
"How about a nice delicious slice of bread, toasted with some seasoned salmon on top, just the way you liked it the last time....no? Hmmm...."
"OK....."....Thinks, thinks, thinks...."How about a foot rub, you love LOVE that almost as much as chocolates?" "Here...I'll get the tub going, gather the lotion and those stuff you muses need to function......No?" "Hmmmm..."
"Shit.....So nothing I do will coax you out of that shell of yours?" "Why not?!"
The Muse looks at The Brain and said, "Do you really want to know...or do you want the PC version?"
The Brain looked flabbergasted at that response!
"You want the PC version?" said The Muse.
"First of all, I might bite on the chocolate but I'm just not in the mood and I've had it with you feeding me with every thing chocolate....at least for this moment, not that I'm saying never do it again, just quit it already!"
The Brain looked at The Muse with a blank stare.
The Muse continued it's tirade. "Second of all, I'm swearing off white bread!" "How the fuck don't you know that?"
"That shit will kill ya! Plus do you know that if you put white bread out for a long time it rarely changes, if ever! What does that say to you of what they are putting in that stuff?!" The Brain looked perplexed!
The Muse continued, "The foot rub sounds tempting, but again, I'm just not in the mood!" "Sometimes a muse have just gotta take a break now and again and come back kicking! " The Muse gave The Brain a frustrated stare and asked, "Got it?"
"OK then!" Said The Brain. "Well, you go do that, go take a break, 'til you get some awe-inspired inspiration, or not...it could be anything you want to share.....I'll be here".
The Brain stared blankly at The Muse. The Muse stared blankly at The Brain, THEY were both looking at ME!
