There, that's the line.
Let it percolate in your noggin. Feel the caffeine level rise. Listen to the little thumpalumpalumpbump of the water popping.
(Can you just imagine the frog-snatcher?)
And then let those words collate, collect, and drip down around the line.
(as for Wes, well, I am sure we all have thoughts about him...:-)
Put together a tale (or a poetry, or an essayery, or a whatchamadingle?) using that line...
Enjoy!
(with thanks to yael, without whom there would be no line. And just imagine starting this exercise without a line -- wouldn't that be missing the point?)
