Matthew’s event poems

Summer Nights

  1. When a twinkling blanket covers the night sky, grab your friends, some towels, a bottle of tequila and red solos.
  2. Head to the sand-filled pebbly shore.
  3. As you stroll near your destination, turn off your lights that dim the path. Slowly step and follow the tones of the rolling waves.
  4. Toss off your flip-flops. Crunch the cool sand and pebbles between your toes.
  5. Slide down your trunks and toss them close to your soles.
  6. Focus on each other’s sounds, footsteps, and breathing to gather near.
  7. Pour an ounce…maybe two
  8. Arriba—Abajo—Al Centro—Pa’ Dentro!
  9. Run, run, run! Pam An into the water. Go, go, go! No thinking, nor stopping until you’re all the way in.
  10. Tread close together and Listen. Listen to the silence. Listen to the treading. Listen to the night. Listen.

 

No Assembly Required

  1. Put on a bright Yellow polo shirt and blue jeans.
  2. Head over to your local Furniture-assembly Warehouse
  3. Make your way through the showroom and become acquainted with your surroundings.
  4. Look busy until the first person asks a question. Be startled, but then polite and respond with confident, yet confusing directions that may or may not lead them to what they are looking for.
  5. Now that you have talked to a customer, pick a display—any display. Start rearranging it the way you want it to look.
  6. Arrange it like confident designer—be inspired, Kim Cattrall Mannequin Feel free to ask customers for advice in the process.
  7. If an employee interrupts your creative designing, comment that you are figuring out how these pieces will look in your space—better than buying it and returning it.
  8. If he/she questions you about your clothes, comment about what they are wearing and who are they to judge, they are wearing the same thing. Yellow and blue look great together.
  9. Have fun arranging your new space; take a picture of you in it for social media.

Before you leave make sure you stop to get a ice-cream cone or splurge and get a Lingonberry Sundae. Remind them of your staff
