Random Thoughts After Several Interesting Meals

Sometimes after many meals, you sit replete, with the memory of black cod fillet and garlic, or thinly-sliced green apple pie and cinnamon, or a delicate cappucino of mushrooms, in the part of the brain that contains the sensations of your mouth.

And sometimes, your brain rambles on with random words that intersect, dissect or transect the world around you.

If you are singularly fortunate, you end up like James Joyce and 'stream of consciousness' becomes part of the literary vocabulary. If you are singularly unfortunate, people delve into the Greek to describe your output, and find the word logorrhoea. What you might get may also be somewhere in between:
dies irae ides marching on not framed many web pattern man internet camwhore no methodism in madness citadel stalin bathtub shower trotsky escaped mexico this time of reckoning pe teachers and young lambs kids ogles and ogres and vivisection bio chemistry physics you may be asked to go china for your health breaking news like porcelain silk road silk route oh dear inappropriate questions and answers responses like watching a train wreck in slow motion across the deck of the ark royal with no harriers lear had three daughters good one sent away did not betray two favoured but not good old man had so much blood in him most unkindest leather office chairs fish tank tank tank no more programme how to ah the sisters and brothers better get along run along now boys no conspiracy theory the beer was flat what an idiot you must pay bill if you want service well hole in the ground has water needs pail fell down broke crown see what tumblring after this what you get for notchecking this i give tevya this your problem too lazar wolff the butcher take it on the chin doom doom in the depths fly you fools looking for good time in latin
It is all an indigestion and a pain really, especially if you flash back too many years and the forward likewise. Then how do you know what is stream of consciousness and what is merely self-consciousness?
