Bemildred*
My poem, "Night Train: Heading West," is going to be in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror XIX.
My bemildredment is small and personal and has to do with the fact that I'm not a poet and I know I'm not a poet. This is the only poem I've written in ages and ages (practically since the Second Punic War), and I doubt--but of course cannot discount the possibility completely--I'll ever write another one.
It is not a complaining bemildredment, mind you. Nor is it a wtf are they thinking? bemildredment. Just ... not what I expected somehow. Life is odd.

*iirc the name of the third bat in Pogo--either that or my post-con-crud is giving me delusions.

And yes, that's the name of the Bat with the third pants.

Seriously, I was posting that thinking, Well, if I'm wrong, Larry will tell me and I can fix it.

Confession: I had to go to Wikipedia to produce the name of the second bat, which really is just Bothered and not a Kellyesque mangling. And while there, I learned that Bemildred is sometimes merely Bewildered -- which factoid I'd clearly edited from memory as ... just too normal. There's no normal in Fort Mudge. That'd ruin the jokes.
