Zelda's exercise: from the random word generator at
http://watchout4snakes.com/creativitytools/RandomWord/RandomWordPlus.as…
use a couple of the following words in a poem:
coddled
syncopate
furbish
relearn
conjoin
clunk
destruct
sleepwalk
clunk! clunk! clunk!
like a sleepwalker barely aware I stumble through
stumbling with syncopated step
not dancing but tripping over my own feet
seems I have to keep relearning the same lessons over and over
cleaning and furbishing my brain -- a do-it-yourself job, always
not even your most closely conjoined partner can do it for you
so ass to its overdue appointment with the meditation cushion
coddle the diamond mind until the confusion self-destructs
the only thing to do is nothing
