LunaNiña of Unconscious Mutterings, posts ten words each week for us to free associate. It is a quick and sometimes surprising exercise. It is also a fun one. Why not play along next time? Just click on link above! Her words on left, my responses on right.
- Voices :: in my head
- Have to :: go
- Machine :: ready
- Seventh grade :: English
- Beach :: ball
- Roommate :: sucks
- Cyclone :: hit
- Theater :: actor
- Pregnant :: pause
- Phoebe :: sings
I cannot just stop with her meme. I love to exercise my brain, so each week I write either a short story or poem with the words, attempting to keep them in the order given in the meme. Yet, I still want to make some sense out of them. . . My result this week:
Oh, to sleep...
Voices in my head
speak softly of
all I have to do --
before I go to sleep
they refuse to turn off
like a machine spinning in place
ready to take off at the touch
of a button
that never comes.
Seventh grade English,
romping on hot sand barefoot
to catch a beach ball thrown
by a roommate (for life),
moments when life just sucks
as if a cyclone hit land
and jerked trees and smashed bananas
and spit it out in my face,
theater, watching an actor
squirm from a pregnant pause that seemed
to go on past its due date,
my expertise at vocals (and sometimes words) --
comparable only to
to Phoebe as she sings
words and tones no one wants to hear
in the coffeehouse...
Someone, please push the button!
