Things to do when you're word blocked

[jack_babalon]

Go bowling with human skulls in supermarket aisiles, compose a poem out of random graffiti tags, arm wrestle your shadow into submission, draw beloved science fiction characters on your condoms, debate metaphysics with fast food employees through the drive-in window, perform acts of bibliomancy using old comic books, create imaginary friends out of mash-ups of dead celebrities, slip raunchy love letters into the pockets of strangers on the train, develop an esoteric style of hand-to-hand combat based on objects found in a junk yard, sing lullabies to the waning moon, lick the vision straight from the muse's eyeballs, start a riot at the DMV, get into a gun fight where the bullets have been replaced with butterflies, go weight lifting in a grave yard at midnight, take over an ice-cream truck like an invading pirate - then play the poems of Allen Ginsberg on the intercom while you drive through the neighborhood offering free popsicles to the oppressed, square dance with the living dead, use a pair of crescnet wrenches as chop sticks while eating hentai sushi, teach the monkeys at the zoo how to pick locks, learn to juggle with hand grenades, write cryptic messages with lipstick along the windshields of police cars, hollow out security cameras to make a nest for baby owls, brush your teeth with the ashes of the Dada Manifesto until you can speak Flemish, perform arcane rites of ceremonial magick using old action figures instead of a coven, do push-ups on the ceiling until the crack of dawn, give your mirror the day off along with the clock while you're at it, smoke secrets bravely behind closed doors, go jogging with inexhaustible run on sentences, invoke alien sex goddesses to give your ego the lap-dance of a life time, write a stage play whose dialogue consists only of actual EVP recordings, mail postcards to the future from the rooftops of ghost towns...

... but most of all, find the time to unlock yourself from the room, to turn off the machine, and simply walk, if not away, then surely somewhere.

... write cryptic messages with lipstick along the windshields of police cars,
hollow out security cameras to make a nest for baby owls...

for whatever reason, these two really made me smile.
