Writing like Michael McClure

TIME to wake UPROAR DOWNPOUR The Beast (the bed) (the floor) ...... BE QUIET & Do Not Dare RE QUIRE for fear for fear for fear Here is a list of things I can hear: outside air circles (I hate circles but they don't sound how they look) and sirens - - - *Dear whoever is up there, or wherever, whomever is pushing the buttons and pulling the levers please make the person or people calling for sirens okay, amen* Even though I don't believe in that sort of thing (really, I don't know what I believe in except my own limitations to believing) I still say that in my head whenever I hear a siren like a sort of prayer just in case for some reason if I don't, they won't arrive on time just in case I'm the one pushing buttons and pulling levers. Amen. - - - Back to sounds: stomach growling, leaves chattering broad and jackaling, something creaks a distant monster ........ ..... ... .. The Beast Don't let it in. Don't let it win. *Left wing Thing Thin Think* What's left? sirens all the Time

Using Michael McClure's Mysterioso as an inspiration and writing in imitation. It was a fun experiment!
