IMAGINATION IS REAL!!

I LIKE TO THINK OF 10 IMAGINARY THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN WHEN I FIRST WAKE UP IN THE MORNING. Before breakfast or coffee or a cigarette or whatever else might pop up before I get out of bed (wink).

IMAGINARY FOOD.
IMAGINARY MONEY.
IMAGINARY JOB.
IMAGINARY FRIENDS.
IMAGINARY MENTAL HEALTH.
IMAGINARY CAR.
IMAGINARY LOVER.
And so on…

THEN I IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK, FEEL, TASTE AND SMELL LIKE.

THEN I PLUG INTO IT.
AND GET, TURNED ON TO IT.

THEN MAYBE THE PHONE RINGS OR I GET AN EMAIL OR THERE’S A LOUD KNOCK ON THE DOOR (Sometimes on the apartment door sometimes in my mind)

AND IT USUALLY IS SOMEONE OR SOMETHING TRYING TO PULL ME INTO THE SO-CALLED- REAL WORLD-SAYING, "WAKE UP IMAGINARY MAN WITH YOUR IMAGINARY THOUGHTS OF THINGS UNSEEN"

And they start in with their FEARS and their LOGIC and their GOSSIP and OPINIONS and BLAH, BLAH, BLAHS!

AND I SAY, "NOW WAIT A DING DANG, BEE-BOOP'N MINUTE!"

I AM cooking up some NEW THOUGHTS and there’s one thing I know about COOKING. TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE IMAGINARY STEW!!

FOLKS IMAGINATION IS WHERE IT ALL STARTS.
FEEL IT,BE IT, SEE IT, DO IT !!
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT ,YOUR IMAGINATION WORLD WELL BECOME YOU REAL WORLD.
JUST KEEP AT IT AND GET JAZZED ABOUT YOUR IMAGINARY NEW WORLD.

TALK TO YOURSELF (OUT LOUD) ABOUT HOW GREAT IT IS.
AND HERES A LITTLE TIP:
I FIND IT HELPFUL TO WEAR SOME KIND OF HEADSET IF YOUR OUT IN PUBLIC SO UNHIP FOLKS DONT
GIVE YOU THE FUNNY EYES OR CALL THE POLICE.

BUT MAKE SURE THE OTHER END OF THE CORD IS STUCK IN YOUR PANTS POCKET,NOT YOUR ZIPPER, OR SHIRT.

AND JUST YAMMER AWAY ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE SO GREAT!! IN THE IMAGINARY NOW.
AGAIN DONT JUST THINK IT, FEEL IT!!!

I AM IMAGINING A GREAT NEW LIFE FOR ME/YOU, AND YOU KNOW THAT IS THE REAL DEAL!! And I AM NOT JUST PULLING YOUR TOOT STRING.

IMAGINE THAT FOR A MINUTE. A WORLD OF TRUE IMAGINATION.

I AM GOING TO NOW TAKE ANOTHER IMAGINATION NAP.

GOOD MORNING, GOOD NIGHT, GOOD DAY.

IMAGINE ME AND YOU.

I DO.
