Memory Thief

Memory Thief

The memory thief is knocking on your door. He will steal from you every memory you fail to write down in the next 30 minutes. First write with your dominant hand. For the last fifteen minutes, write with your other hand. Don’t look back. Don’t correct. There is no time to waste, when the thief is at the door.

After you’ve completed this exercise, select the memory that has the most energy, heat, pain, or joy in it, to work it into a poem.

The poem is worth 35 points. If you don't finish it in class, it's homework.
