Matt Moore made an offer on his blog the other day.
I have another life. A few times a month, I stand up and do performance poetry in various pubs & cafes around Sydney. Sometimes the punters love it. Sometimes you could hear a pin drop in the pained silence. Thems the breaks. I've been doing this for a year and I'd like to broaden my horizons.This is a crazy notion, so of course I accepted. A couple of Skype calls later and Matt is crafting something around a personal bugbear of mine. The quid pro quo may be that I have to write one back.Would you like a poem written for you?
Yes. You.
This could be fun.

Johnnie - while I think you could write a damn fine poem in response - how about using a different form of media to express the same idea?
I love the idea of you doing an interpretative dance piece but you may come up with something different...

I LOVE this. Pair it with your later post on constraints and improv and whoa, what fun. I look forward to seeing the results of your experiment.
(And have you seen The Lives of Others?)
