*The writing Experiment: Strategies for Innovative Creative Writing

Two writers

on a vacation
and be on the

that could have gone
into cooked rice flakes
and ended up nowhere.

It belonged to the earth
like a magnet.

split the seed in half
with skin still hanging to each half

kidneys connected to the system.

to these kidneys.
and they grow by splitting.
An unlike fusion.
