What is it that powers kittens? I mean, what kind of power do they run on? If only we could harness it. They've got more energy per ounce than anything I can think of. Puppies and goat kids are much the same way. What amuses me about their "energy" is that when it finally runs out, they just "konk out"...suddenly... just like those "other rabbits" that aren't powered by the right kind of batteries. Our collie pup is about 8 1/2 months old now and is starting to become a little more sedate, but for months, she has been doing this crazy thing where she tears in and out of the room and all around the tables and even on and off of the couch like a kangaroo... But all of a sudden, she curls up in her favourite spot and starts to snore...and makes grumpy little groans at you if you disturb her. Power ON,..Power OFF...

God it's nice to wake up to you guys here. Yah, I just woke up, at 10:30 ant hay meridian (I have been up earlier, but....). I know it's a who cares; but I am just quandering or pondering it, because I seem to need a lot of sleep before I feel good. Not "good;" ~ let's say ~ "even close to right." And then I wear out fast; and need a re-set nap. WAIT A SECOND ~ That seems to sound like the puppies and kittens!! WAIT A SECOND SECOND ~ They have an active period. Nevermind. Anyway, I woke up; thinking about Necco Wafers again! How they seem the right color and shape. For sleep. And dreams. Don't they? Pastels; and round. Perfectly round pastel chips. "Chit." Sat chit ananda. Like soft moons. Paper moons. Crepe-paper moons. And dreams. Dream dust. Dusties. Dream tokens. What colors can you cash in, for what dreams? Put a little token out; by your bed. Or maybe it goes on your radiator; I don't know. I didn't say I knew. Experiment, Bozo. You can manage this. I would try under your pillow. But they might leave marks; and get someone yelling at you. Use a special bowl on the nightstand. Not near the clock, for Pete's sake. But you put that on there and you get something new, and perfect, and beautiful. Or meaningful. Or humbling. Or inspiring. Or sexy. Or pristine. Or Alice In Wonderland, or Dune, or 1900 Paris. ~ I'm going to go get some. Yah! I hate to buy something that has animals in it. Neccos have gelatin I think; but this would be LIKE for medical research, almost. Mental health; Psychology. Well-being. (That's health. Isn't it?) I can just get them out and take their pictures and study their colors and probably learn a lot. I KNOW I can. (Can I bring myself to do it???) (Probably not, goddamit.) So crap. I will have to hang out at a candy counter until someone comes in and gets Necco Wafers. "Are you going to eat those? Can I spread them out first? Let me take photos....." How many Necco Wafer buyers can there be, in an average day? Wonder what time they buy. Oh dear. This could get complicated. I would have to get the clerk's permission to hang out on the candy aisle, and I don't really look right for it, in an un-arrestable way. And explaining to him/her the reason someone else needs to buy them, a roll of Necco Wafers, who was destined to buy them anyway; not someone special for me even if they eat them ~ explaining that my reason is because I won't buy nothin with animals in it ~ I don't know if that will get me a row surveillance spot. (Maybe I could just sit on a stool in the back, and look at the register security monitor until someone brings some Wafers to the counter, and then run out. Oh; that should work. I know someone who absentee-owns a store, who might understand; but I will still need a good intro-speech for the Neccosian. That, might be impossible. I can't even think what to start with. "Are you going to eat those?") ("No, I'm going home for a nap.") (Put an ad in the paper? "Does your Johhny like Necco Wafers? Where does he shop?") (Maybe if I bury them when I'm done? SHIT!! ARRGH!) Damn NECCO! THEY should keep the animals out of their stuff. YES. They should. (Do people know animals are getting into their stuff?) Then I wouldn't have this problem. And instead I would have my pastel and sculptural photos and stacks and arrangements and dream charts and denominations ~ of Wafers. THEY ARE MISSING A GIANT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE NECCO WAFERS COMPARED WITH LIKE THE COMPANY OF O'KEEFE. Stupid fuckers. Really. Makes me mad. Goddam mad. I'm not kidding. I'm not going to do them any favors.
