Exquisite Corpse, V66.2

by Paul Brown on 25 September 2008

Thanks to everyone who played this last round of Everybody’s Favorite Online Collaborative Poetry Game™ – Exquisite Corpse: harleychuck (harley), thom413thom413, mark_monroeMark Monroe, and furtummyEric (furtummy).


Like a three-day-old fish,
his visit started to smell.

Socks on the floor,
bedding on the couch,

Dishes in the sink
my favorite food is missing.

Hair in the sink, hair in the drain
Hair on my toothbrush!?
God, what a pain.

Cantilevered to the extreme
The breaks in reality are
Barely Shored up.

But he had holes in his palms
where the nails had been,

And I was nothing
if not a traditional hostess.
