What’s this challenge? Write a stream-of-consciousness poem. Why a poem? What makes a poem a poem? Just start writing. Is there a word limit? No. Why a poem? Don’t worry about it. I think the formatting is going to be key.
I should leave gaps.
Is it going to rain today? It’s too bad Wallace isn’t here to tell me how her joints feel. I hope she has a good flight. I wonder what the weather is like in New York (checks phone) 79? That’s nice.
OK. That’s enough lollygagging. It’s time to focus. Should I just write down what I’m thinking? Or should I write what someone else might be thinking? Might be easier to write what I’m thinking. But that might reveal too much. Like anyone would care.
As long as I am thinking about it, that counts as doing something, right? Stop using that crutch. Start writing, OK. Stop bullying me.
All right, I’m writing. I don’t think it’s any good. It’s an interesting idea though, right? I think so. They probably won’t. They’re probably right.
I should get some more coffee (stares out the window) I wonder if it’s going to rain today.
I should take a break. Swish it around in my head.
If you don’t want to do it. Just say you don’t wanna do it.
When is it due? OK I still have time.
Why don’t you just submit this? Then at least it would be done.
Because it’s crap.

Sounds like a lot of things running thought my head, though I have to disagree with your last line. Good Luck!
