From a 1/1/11 prompt by Meg Pokrass.
Include these first words of 2011: crash, sorrow, bone, hair, black, trampoline, party, wilting, trick, enemy, pajamas, botch, level, e-mail, lineup, hotel, chest, cosmic, gots, popcorn
I did mine before realizing word order was not required. So this is.
This story has no tags.
love this. loved it on my wall. love it here. happy new year. I think this is really something, you have to send it out. it is something else. I loved the Thalia.
I love how much there is packed to into this, and the absolute weirdness of it -
'I want to crash over a cliff of sorrow, an old lady's bone tied to my hair, your black heart bouncing mine on a trampoline'
Your use of the prompts makes for such strange, magical wordings.

fantastic, walter, what a ride! and especially that ending. very physical and photographic too, in a way, though i don't know if i'd use this word hadn't i known that you're a great photographer also.
Second one of these I've read that I couldn't come within five miles of writing. Nice job.
Thanks Meg, for the prompt and commennts - who couldn't love the Thalia even before entering the first time.
Roberta - thanks too - I have had "old ladies hair tied to my bones" in my back pocket for a few decades. Just plop into the singular, flip-flop and that tied the other two segments together. Total serendipity.
Marcus - so you are sayin' that as a writer I am a great photographer? Thanks, I think.
Larry - A lot of people like to stay a minimum of 10 miles from my work, so I appreciate it.
Damn, WB. This is a helluva thing.
