I’m not big on these sort of exercises. When I’m in the right frame of mind, the words will flow naturally enough, but most times, bleh. Having said that, gamma shoobaghg lasntsi groovinaway sabasabasabah cha cha cha haaaa. Sorry, had to get that out.
This is a bad day for this sort of thing anyway. High emotion and stress all round as I head off for a work related trip. (Pause to stare out the window).
OK-there. Reason to free form for a line or two. I love my backyard. I have to spend some more time in it not that he weather’s cooled and the mosquitoes are not so unbearable. I wish our neighbor would get rid of the old blue tarp covering who knows what sort of monstrosity of a vehicle that will never get fixed up. Other than that, pretty nice yard, even with the open backyard plan with everyone sharing the space. It’s almost like a small park right out the back stoop. I wonder if anyone ever used it as such, back when these houses were first built. The entire circular neighborhood would have had a nice area to gather and piquenique. Plenty of space for football or whatever they played back in the 60s. You can’t see any remnants of that time if it were ever such. No brick barbeque pits unused for decades. I would like to set up a bow and arrow target sometime, but I’m sure our next door grumpy old man won’t approve. Probably afraid a stray arrow would get hung up in the mower deck more than anything else, though it would be in the direction of his kids old swing set, so maybe symbolic fear. Sympathetic black magic that could harm his now adult children through time and space.
Anyway, that’s a nice detour. OK- so I was able to pull our a spontaneous one out of the hat so to speak. I’m still not crazy about these exercises.
