OKAY WE'RE PLAYING A GAME GUYS.
FIRST. If you don't know what automatic writing is, read this. It will give you an idea of how to play.
Now, pick a number between one and ten. Then, go here. Look at the last three words of the quote corresponding to the number you just picked. Note that you may cheat and adjust the number of words if you feel the need.
This will be the title of your piece - put it in the subject line of your comment.
Now, take this phrase, and write a short passage in automatic prose in response to it. Write whatever comes to your mind, without any censoring; it doesn't have to involve the words from the quote, or even be in any way obvious how it relates to the quote. Give your subconscious as free a reign as possible here. Write as much or as little as you want - one sentence, ten, a random list of words, WHATEVER. Grammar need not apply.
Post your comment.
FOR EXTRA CREDIT: Leave responses to other people's responses in the same method. NONSENSICAL DIALOGUE IS ENCOURAGED.
I will go first, so if you need an example, just look at the comments. :D
ETA: OMGGGG YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME *A* I have to go to the store now, carry on without me for a while!

Say you laugh at the wind snapping at your heels? A dog of air came winding down the path, looking for your pastimes. Anyone can see the useless cane stick in the mud. From all you came under the pain of birth, it's only the natural course when the laughter turns you mad inside. Paint the walls with red and the eyes with white; there's no point to the weight inside, but it does not diminish its severity. Case in point: the love of an eagle for the sea. Can't you see the glassblowers under the water of medium? Hah, and you thought you knew. You were a fool as a butterfly on the wind.
--he would never get across the bridge of dreams, he was bursting in his glass boots, but maybe she in her arrogance and thunder would get there like the shadows on the wall--and maybe she had something to say and maybe she'd find an eagle-headed god to say it to--
--she was changing attire, right there in the shadow of his breath.
The cruel god toys with the people setting down these conflicting religious and social standards of normalcy so that the beings of every culture are predisposed to fight like pawns on a chessboard for his amusement. There is no escape. There is no escape from these standards and from the rule imposed by this immortal being. its the end of all thought.
not wantonly but carefully thinking about it every step of the way to destroy to make it precious because it no longer is. He thinks that as he swings the hammer the hammer bright silver and oak beautiful because it changes laughing laughing changing how beautiful is that
she reaches up and pushes her hair back and he thinks I want to destroy you but he's too careful for that. too careful and she's too beautiful for that to be destroyed in one red red bleeding painted moment just destroy her in a low slow careful run
he wants to be important enough to her that she wants to destroy him. do you find me beautiful he asks and she stabs him deep and laughs and laughs and laughs.
let's destroy each other on purpose he says low in her ear and she says yes yes yes a thousand times she says yes
i am your father
i am your son
I found you and lost again in the twilight
Oh aurora; oh brilliance oh light.
underwater blue and gold, forgotten leftovers of the tall rock, below and above forever and untold. it's all green, but black as the pitch of a hummingbird.
- perhaps that's because time is not runic, but rather smells like a rotting orange on a golden day, when god's head pops above the sunlit clouds, and clouds drizzle down from the heavens.
have you considered crazy, because mad worms can create a mighty stream in the Mississippi, when everyone is is above the meadow, but larks are mostly taken from the head.
-perhaps we should eat tulips, since they are the most gracious host of the nine giraffes, when nonsensical rainbows light the path of the seven nights on the isle of forever.
not before dinner.

children must die in the winter old people too
what is the reason so many things are saved in garages small stones boxes of rusted smelly metal parts vines gardens enormous two gallon jar of chocolate pretzels. she must have been eighty-five we were eleven. she rubbed it on her breast over and over and that was inside and that was what it was then we sat in her garage that was growing over with the old lady sprouts and flowers and old books like what you think california must have been before the fishermen took over
who would choose this life, or that life
That's what you have to do, you know, there's only that one way for the all in us. It smells like dust and old paper and moth-wings fluttering too close to the fire.
only pathways knitted and tangled the silver pathways of mind that never die.
so you'd better keep them or someone else will take them when you let go.
In the caves, treasures: but rocking horses know their own secrets and have sinister clubs. They won't let the fat kid join. His mother wraps him in lace every morning and tells him he's beautiful. He is--but silver knives and knowing how the driver tires and running down the endless kill to catch the fire that never burst a heart takes all of me and dries it like an apple doll.
But still--he is beautiful.
That being of course the purpose of our lives. To care and not care all at the same time. Taking ourselves seriously and other people seriously and everything about everything seriously, but then when it comes down to the line, it isn't very serious because you can't own up to it. So, it's as if it were never serious at all, just frivolous, and meaningless. But to someone it has purpose, or maybe not ... it's a mystery ... it tells the correct time three times a day, and I supposed that's all that matters. Right? Morning, noon, and night ... but not always these three times. Sometimes twice at noon and none at night, but three in the morning and one later that day. But who keeps track of the time anyway? Candles burn down, flames flickering in the dark night. Licking at the moisture in the air. Trying to fight a battle to which it might loose. But they won't loose because they are the champions, and the champions always win. Because they take themselves tooooooo seriously.
((WIN!!! I think that's the first time I've done that (XD)!))
(Isn't it fun! \o/)
My insides spill out and everyone is looking,
i am covered in eyeballs
out
inside
cunt is a game of five.
with pretty little kanji all in row
decay, the smell of shit and rot mingling with the earthy scents that remind you of your grandmother's garden at sunday brunch where the conversation was awkward but the food was good. good like a vintage wine or a night of wild sex. but it is still death.
would that I liked food more, but you gotta eat.
Tell me where the world is clean and beautiful, tell me where I won't have to endure the shit sticking to my fingers and creeping under my fingernails, if only life was beautiful that way; sterile, to sterile, alas.
What lies beyond the truth is something more, something much grander that only a human being could create. Fantasy, fiction, elaboration, and creativity. These concepts that were created by humans and that are uniquely human. An Ape is not creative, he can only tell what is real, his only goals are to survive. But humans reach beyond the truth to enrich the universe and exercise the unique gift given to them.
But to ignore the truth in favor of fantasy then there is something broken in that human. A person who can no longer tell that the difference between reality and fantasy has committed a crime against the unique ability he has been given. In a way he has become even worse than the Ape.
this
silly
farce
to play the game
in conclusion, the zombie apocalypse will result in a breakdown of communication but we will still play this game because language is the most basic element of civilisation and will be the last lost of it.
take my hand your reality is justified there is one other person on the planet who calls you correct and truth truth is in your eyes when i am listening listening.
substitute the most beautiful words.
Instead, walk along the road and think of nothing in particular. Something is always somewhere, but not for you to find. It laughs harshly, but the only thing there to hear it is a fat pigeon.
The end
Cohenient thoughts:Wasn't that bad, last part made little sense. I think I was thinking of a double edged sword.
