Writing A Poem Without Thinking

INSTRUCTIONS:

pair things
allow the audience to connect them
let them create causality from correlation

brand names and quick reference tags help
multiple meanings help
odd juxtapositions help
abstract wedded to concrete helps
rhythm helps

THUS:

moonlight and Chevy
blues and remarkable charm
arm of the beloved and wind through the window
star and broken bough
lip and trembler brooch
mystery and candelabra fern
fumble and reach
whisper and Rihanna
arch and last wisp of cigarette
heaving and bucking
still faced brook pool and eyeshine
Buddha and leaving behind
long hours and silence
comfort and ice cream sandwiches
the sleep at home,
and 
the recounting to oneself
endlessly rocking
