I feel a bit in need of rubbing shoulders with creativity and the people it clings to like a persistent odour.

So in the next 30 seconds I would like you to:

1. Think of something or someone unusual which/whom you've never written about or even clearly imagined before.

Then you may:

2: Ad lib madly, like a monkey on crack. A paragraph, a scrap, a vignette, a novel to rival War and Peace - I don't care what you end up with. I  just want to read something wonderful that has just this very minute fallen, freshly-baked, out of your head.

And then:

3. Post it in comments here, or dev it and give me a link.

If you do this, I will love you long time throw something back at you which your ad lib creation has inspired. Or whatever. >>



I write like
H. P. Lovecraft

(.. and that's a good thing!)

The cormorant dug her head into the lake and sank--deep--like she was innocent at a witch-trial. Deeper. Deeper. Breath running out and bloodvessels popping in her eyes she thrashed her bill forward and open and felt scales with her tongue. In an instant she broke the surface like a fucked-up black waterphoenix, the look in her bloodied eyes saying she wanted to have relations with your cat and then eat it, too.

(I'm a month and a half late but I made it anyway.)

Scrumptious pasta fagiool in my shoes,
lampshade perched on my head, I look sweet!
I gambled and lost on a love hard to lose.

These stringent thoughts are mine to choose--
my wracking loss is now complete
with scrumptious pasta fagiool in my shoes.

Life is louse-ridden pubis, a ruse,
and I an aching follicle in its beak.
I gambled and lost on a love hard to lose.

I once thought of love as a goddess, a muse,
now her perfume smells of liver, beets,
and soggy pasta fagiool in my shoes.

Now I court ruin, watchful for clues,
I lather and rinse and repeat and repeat.
I gambled and lost on a love hard to lose.

My innocence could not help but beg for abuse,
and you, my love, bought the front row seat.
Scrumptious pasta fagiool in my shoes,
I gambled and lost on a love hard to lose.

I adore this form, and you did well by it. And made me laugh, to boot.

I promise you: 1 poem. Soonish.

There are certain things I never really got the hang of, one of those things is answering prompts, another one of those things is uh, well I don't know, meh, but I guessI'm pretty good at this thing. Ok here it goes. Actually, there isn't anything I've never creatively imagined. I once wrote an entire monologue about sitting down to pee, except I only wrote it down in my imagination while sitting down to pee. The monologue mostly explored rationalizations for why it was okay for me, a young man, to sit down and urinate. It's just a cultural thing, I said to myself, it's just societal bull shit, I'm perfectly comfortable with who I am as a person. But also, if the person who I am explaining this to doesn't buy that argument, then I'd quickly explain that I have almost no attention span--that my family has a long history of severe ADHD, and that when I stand up to pee, I am immediately lost in the myriad of textures and colors in the adjacent and severely unappreciated "white wall" behind the toilet, which of course causes me all kinds of trouble. If that doesn't bite, then I'd outline the very obvious benefits of pee-sitting: While sitting down to pee I allow myself the opportunity to ruminate, mediate, and explore all sorts of ideas that I'd not feel comfortable exploring if I were also trying to focus on directing my penis into a large bowl of water--I mean, come on! But as I'm thinking all of this over--while sitting down to pee, of course, it occurs to me that all I ever think about while doing so are justifications for why it's okay for me, a young man, to pee while sitting down. And then it hits me. The flash backs, the tears, the brokenness of my humanity. My wacko foreign parents did not have me circumcised. And as a young child, the extra skin basically stuck to the hide/head of my defectively small penis in an uneven manner, causing me to piss in artful directions. Maybe it was all jazz to me--but to everyone who ever used the bathroom after me, it was just pee on a toilet seat. Family friends would even be so affront to remind me as I entered their bathrooms "don't splash!" and they'd just smile and laugh about it. So one day my mom taught me to sit down to pee, and my potty issues vanished from everyone's concern, including my mothers. This burden is mine to carry. The life I have lived, the inner torment, the struggle and shame. What am I. Who will ever love me. I have yet to experience any romance, but I am thankful, for if I did, she would soon learn my secret. I cannot pee straight.

On second thought, forget I said anything.

Sir, I refuse to forget.

I asked for brain dumps, unpolished things. I have my reasons for this, all of them quite selfish. Plus, I just wanted some attention. I am entirely satisfied with your above contribution, and that's what matters - isn't it?

Love,

The wizard pulled up in his Ford Pinto and whipped out a gat. "Y'all crackas dun gonna get magicked by my boom-staff!"

The people on the city sidewalk just shrugged. No one cared anymore.

"Well dang!" The wizard put his gun away and sped off into the sunset. No one cared about that, either. They all just went about their business, the apathy of a life comfortably lived too much to overcome.

Slowly, the time came when the city began to fall to ruin. No one cared then, either.

The wizard returned. "I want you all to know I'm sorry for my earlier actions," he said. Everyone who had been alive the first time were all long gone by now. He didn't care. His own ego and need to validate himself mattered more than those who could help him do it.

"Lemme show you all something." The wizard then cast a spell which made people care. They all became overwhelmed by the immensity of the scale of their problems, but decided to try and work through it anyway. They succeeded, and eventually returned to original state of comfortable apathy.

The wizard then smiled, and left. He had been sitting in the same position for near a hundred years. When he left, a small child jumped and and a passing man who thought he was a statue walked into a bar and drank for the rest of the day.

End.
