fast write poetry exercises in class

flight path over pass private drive ramp
where golden butter drips off into syrupy basins
into wiggling waffles
hot springs rejoicing
parking lot tide gauges
arterial for summer sun surf
an outpost for a floating bridge
garden path emotional aqueducts
of metal hershey bars with almonds
sword plant skyway overlapping survey lines
revolving cul-de-sacs in an amphitheater for Saturn
screwdrivers sneezing in cumbersome hands

I'm traveling down a road of swampy muddy footprints
trying to free the lost socks from overhead mobiles
of where my feet come to meet its daily slip on covers
I cross the isthmus of a loose red thread
to find my left hand, now asleep, fisted and restful, not dead
Excited and jestful I arrive at peninsula of my rubber neck propping a
bouncing ball, topped by a messy swath of brown hair
And finally I climbed to the cape of the nape of my neck
a little soulsease, resting to take in a view
of paunch, knees far from view, toes pointing up
Just waiting, on cue

(We had to use certain words incorporated quickly in what we wrote)
