Had lots of fun in Creative Writing today...Prof Lao handed out an excerpt of a scientific book about parasites, and had us create poetry/prose from random bits of the text. SO much fun, and really funny what some people came up with. Mine turned out to be rather serious, but what can you do? :)
(Found text from Parasite Rex)
FACES
Complement settles
If men and women
Would stick their faces underwater -
They thrive because they have many more ways of fooling
Each other
To make their home.
Some can live in any kind of cell.
Almost everyone is a
Paradox
Although billions of humans
Can’t raise the right defense,
And
There’s some evidence
It becomes dangerous.
We
May seem like gentle creatures
But
Are always ready to destroy -
It tastes like
An exhausting game.
We
Need to move
But
Shy away and never see
All are faceless.

Love this! Your class sounds like a lot of fun.
Just how exactly does a professor get away with chewing you out over getting sick? "Yes, of course, I voluntarily injected myself with the bacteria for the common cold, flu and cholera all at once. Why ever do you ask?"
ooo i really like this! and the creative writing activity. i might pull out a textbook someday and try.
