Sometimes you get
a little dry
and you have to borrow
ideas from other people.
I have one idea
that I stole from a friend
who suggested it
at an Allman Brothers show.
He suggested a skit or scene
where a group of hippies
were smoking a joint
and they started passing out of order
until the trails of smoke formed a pentagram.
Then the devil would appear
and ask “What’s up?
You did summon me so what
do you want from me?”
To which one of
the rather surprised tokers
would reply: “Wanna hit?”
It’s not that bad an idea.
I guess somewhere
along the line
someone will do it.
Meanwhile I guess
I’ll just make due
with these thoughts
and pass it off as my own.

Ha!
Baphomet.
Y'all been picking up my thought crumbs again?
They seem to just lay around in the air.

I only answer to Lucifer ("if I'm in need of some restraint") but I like to jot down notes when I'm listening to conversation. Then I throw them together and see if I can come up with something good.

Idea Theft
If nobody knows the source, it's okay. If the source does not know you pinched it, it's okay. Of course, lying like that and stealing like that may enhance the possibilities of old horn head tailed dude to show up the next time you pass and tote out of order. It's a nice idea, a beginning of a novel actually :D
It's not actually stealing
It's not actually stealing since I did give credit to the friend (in a back hand way). I think any good writing draws a lot from the conversations going on around him/her. Then we crystalize it into something all our own.
