The highest form of stream of consciousness poetry is

Pickles

Sweet sour dill pickles

Pickle spears with burgers and cheese and onions

Beef sounds like teeth

Juicy burger beef to tear with your teef!

Teef! Teef! We only has nine, Precious!

Precious

[Girlfriend] has tiny precious dog

No bigger than a shoe

Shoe

Can I punt little tiny shoe dog?

Easiest fifty yards

Woo! Field goal! Pats win!

As if, football sucks this year.

At least hockey is still good.

Bruins

Brewin'

Coffee

I need coffee

Lots of road and no more coffee

How long left to drive?

Long drive, pretty drive

Pretty mountain drive

Woah, close cliff

Can car go off cliff?

No. Car no go off cliff, car no fly.

Car no go space

Cargo space

Luggage

Did I forget my toothbrush?

Clean my teeth

Bristly sticks for dirty beef teefs

Toothpaste is made out of limestone. That rocks.

MOOSE!

HEARTBEATHEADRUSHBADSOUNDBLACKSIGHT

Hoo! I'm alive!

No car moose

Car no like moose

Moose make car go flat

Flat white cappuccino macchiato I like it black

Back in Black! I hit the sack!

Tired

Espresso

No depresso, get espresso

No espresso, much depresso

Dead road, long road, country road

Take me home!

To the plaaaaaace where I belooooong

WEST VIRGINIA!

Where was that exit again?
