Elastic City. walk prompt

In a setting such as a city street or a shopping mall or an airport or anywhere where there is a lot of signage and whatnot, pause and take note of all the texts that surround you.

“Using your memory (or use your phone), take three to five minutes to create a poetic phrase or short poem using only words that you see.”

Don’t add any words.

In the participatory walk version of this prompt, those comfortable are encouraged to share their observed creation with the group. In my solo variation, you can share it with whoever you want, or no one at all.

Try this again in a week. Make it a habit.
