While at Omi International Arts Center in Ghent, New York, artists Alex Schweder and Ward Shelley built a house that spins and tilts in agreement with the wind, and the shifting weight of its inhabitants. Then they resided in the structure for five days, and will spend another several days living there this fall. Write a poem or story inspired by the image or idea of living in a structure that is constantly spinning, and which tilts up or down as you walk through it. What kind of vocabulary or pacing might mimic or reflect the sensation of spinning? How can you play with emotional weight or levity to create shifting feelings throughout your work?
I don't even like it when I sit at a table that bumps around, why would I want to experience living conditions like that.... maybe a seafaring person would feel at home there, but certainly not me.
This prompt was written in conjunction with blog city's prompt yesterday.... given that the prompt turned up as open and it the poem was written yesterday, I am submitting it. Hope that is okay.
