Free Write - Week 2


Exercise using one of my junkyard quotes from last week: 
"When we go to Morocco, I think we should have completely different names and be completely different people." Penny Lane, Almost Famous.

 
When we go to Morocco, we’ll race camels bareback.
When we go to Morocco, we’ll dance to the beat of drums we buy from a street vendor.
When we go to Morocco, I’ll forget that you aren’t a spinning sheik.
When we go to Morocco, you’ll remember that I dislike camels but adore nomads.
When we finally get to Morocco, our families will hire our doppelgangers and be content.
When we go to Morocco, we’ll send postcards to the origami selves we left back home.
When we go to Morocco, we’ll sing so badly they’ll give us supper just to shut up.
When we go to Morocco, I’ll say with a smile, "We're after the same rainbow, Huckleberry."
When we go to Morocco, you’ll decide we should be somewhere colder.
When we finally get to Morocco, our days will start with cake and end with coffee.
When we go to Morocco, we’ll teach our camels to spit upside down.
When we go to Morocco, we’ll remember that horses are better to ride bareback.
When we go to Morocco, I’ll keep you from gambling it all away.
When we go to Morocco, you’ll make sure I risk kit and caboodle.
When we finally get to Morocco, our journey will begin in medias res.
