IMPROMPTU #91: Letter to a Stranger
Write a letter to a stranger.
Write a letter to a stranger.
I lean on the warm west
window. Are we there yet and how
long and I have to pee an hour
out of Portland, seeing my life
in reverse. Cows in the fields shrink
to calves, barn wood rehydrates.
- from "Route Recalculation"
From a poem I wrote about being a grown-ass woman on a road trip with my parents <3. Today's prompt: write about a road trip.
Merry 90 days of IMPROMPTU!
What's the opposite of anxiety? The opposite of stone? Choose an object, material, or abstract concept that doesn't have a direct opposite and explore what its opposite might be. Make it as weird and surprising and non-concrete as you want.
Read poems "The Opposite of Nostalgia" and "The Opposite of the Body" for further inspiration.
