The Blueing

a poem after Nick Montfort's The Purpling
re-mixed by students of Non-Linear Narratives & Multi-Media Poetics
a Quebec Writers' Federation Workshop led by J. R. Carpenter, March 28, 2009

It seemed a necessary distraction to break up your day. Creative paralysis - she decided - is not to be feared, instead it should be courted, lavished, indulged dreading only inspiration to pilfer. Predestination - a Calvinist sober addiction. Sukuma-wiki misdemeanour: to create a bland meal by forgetting to garnish with pili pili hoho inducing dissatisfaction. To be happy - a cautious adventure in pursuit of elusive endorphins. Satisfaction is magenta hues staring back meandering over the Rift Valley horizon.
