Jumpin a Jeep

My friend takes to the "hospital,"
the "cancer ward"
to meet a "patient" named "bill."
His diseased voicebox
had been taken out,
but they gave him an electric one.
"bill" talks to us
in robot monotone
but speaks coherently and well.

Then the "patient," "Bill," has an "attack"
though it isn't clear of what ... by whom ...
The nurses come
and say they have to "blow him up."
(They have to WHAT? ...)
Medical jargon.
It means they need to help him breath.
The doctors confer,
decide he is too weak for the procedure;
so they just "blow him up" halfway.

I hear an auto dealership commercial.
It is for selling jeeps.
You are supposed to be seized,
When you hear this commercial,
by an uncontrollable urge to buy a jeep,
then kill yourself by crashing it.
To drive the message home
there is a jingle that says something like:
I wanna jump in a jeep and I die ...
I wanna jump in a jeep and I die ...

Then I awake,
laughing so hard I can not stop.
And for a while
I go wandering round the house
singing, humming to myself
the jingle of the dream.
The sound of the words ...
How irresistibly silly ...
I just can't help myself ...
I wanna jump in a jeep
I wanna jump in a jeep
... I wanna ... ...
Well, I live alone
so I am sure no one else heard me ...
(did they?)

And sometimes I'm afraid
I will run out of things to write about;
and perhaps this is scrapping
the bottom of the barrel.
But perhaps as long as I keep dreaming
there will always
be something more to say,
something more to laugh about,
something else to wonder at,
something new to share.
and maybe, just maybe,
one more reason
to live
and to be happy.

Jaime, you truly are adorable. You even have a sense of humour in your dreams.

No matter what road you take me down, I am fascinated by what you write ~ be it curious, outrageous, bizarre, humorous, sad or scary ~ it is all so vivid! Your mind sees more than most eyes do!

Loves and hugs,
EA
P.S. I swear, I have never blown up any of my patients! ~ at least not intentionally! lol

Buenos dios, amigo. Keep dreaming and writing, and I will keep reading. Radio and TV sales jingles annoy me when I can't get them out of my head! But since they keep you deep dancing around the house, guess they can't be all bad after all.
As for 'blowing up' patients? EEK what an expression!

LOL, I guess I need some tutoring in my Spanish, as I inadvertently wrote
Good God, instead of Good Day. (Buenos Dias)
LOL, guess another laugh for the day won't hurt my headache.
