Draw the curtains
Draw your mother
Mother the plants
Mother each other
Other is laughing
Other is living
Living in New York, Paris, Belfast
Living anywhere but the past
Past go, now I can collect my cash
Past 4pm, feel like the day is done
Done and dusted
Done is better than perfect?
Perfect prefects prep their papers
Perfect people please their neighbours
Neighbours peeking from their windows
Neighbours is on at 5pm
5PM is cinco de la tarde
5PM boss says take a seat
Seat by the window
Seat at the [kids] table
Table your thoughts
Table cloth is stained
Stained by the merriment of the day
Stained by Luca’s tomato soup
Soup slurps from his lips
Soup, that super quick fix
Fix the bike
Fix your life
Life featuring Martin Lawrence
Life featuring you by another name
Name your passions
Name your heroes
Heroes risen by our ideals
Heroes fall for being human
Human animal takes a tangerine
Human being takes a breath
Breath as brazen as snow in May
Breath as fragile as your last day
Day calls to night
Day starts a fight
Fight like you love
Fight or flight or freeze
Freeze! We’re playing Stuck In The Mud
Freeze frame drama games
Games in pairs
Games we play
Play as a means of survival
Play as way to trial
Trial the things we’ll have to do for real
Survival

Tried something brand new. It’s a blitz poem, a 50 line poem with lots of rules. If you’d like to give it a go, check all the instructions here. Happy writing!
