poetry: work days, from "Admit Two", No. 16, Mar. 2007

"This bit of poetry came about via an email exchange one week. We created a collaborative poem each day using slightly different structures. We alternated throwing out topics, which later became the titles (topics not used include: radials, and Roger Miller lyrics: uncut, unplugged, uncensored). Some days we alternated lines, others we wrote separately and combined later. Still other days one of us wrote first and the other wrote in response." JC&PA
