Oubliet of flowers: May 2020

I need the cat to be calm
I need the blue pill to calm me
We are scratching at our own nerves
Because we are
running out of string to fly our kites

If I was going to write another book

Or poem

Ideas

When it rains

When they say

It's all

All going to be okay

I know

Somewhere in the back of my mind

Everything is still grey

And the night

Is mixing into

The days

And

I'm walking through

Everyone else's

Opinions

That they are passing off

As conversations

Moments so fragile

Passed around so nonchalantly

And I am still

Surrounded in this empty room

Story line idea

Bourbon is a dog that hangs around the docks

Contractors think he is cute. So everyday the dog is treated to lunch by grown men

They call the dog bourbon because of the color of his fur.

One day they teach the dog to sit and fetch.

When the contractors are finished working on the house, they realize that the dog thinks he has a home. The expensive townhouse apartment is owned by a rich man who doesn't understand why a mut dog is standing on marble flooring.

The contractors feel sorry for the dog. The new owner yells at the dog. The men go find the dog. One of the men take the dog home. He has a son who is always getting told no by his grandmother. The dog had been alone most his life. Everyone kept telling the dog to go away. Or they would say no in hopes that the dog knew they didn't want it around.

The boy and the dog become best friends

It's funny and cute

The story ends with the boy teaching the dog to play messenger. The dog brings a valentine to the lady next door so his dad can go out with her.

The lady has a cat named Oscar wild. Every time Oscar gets on anything- the dog barks twice. So the young woman asked why the dog does that?

They tell her that the grandmother scolded the dog once. She told the dog when no is the answer- you bark twice so I know that you understand me. The boy and the dog are young, so they have been told no a lot.

Spooky

Vivian is a great mom to her son. Her son has a way of seeing things that no one else can. For most of the boys life, people assumed he was mentally challenged. Until the truth came out and everyone saw them.

The truth came out when the boy used his allowance to buy a vintage monkey and a weird lamp from a yard sale. He wanted to be Aladdin but he got haunted instead.
