...the junk drawer of my mind... look if you want. you might find dreams scraps (maybe featuring you?), poem scraps, ideas unformed or abandoned, dried out sharpie pens, 37 cent stamps, lies and red-herrings, lip-gloss and assorted dangling and/or misplaced modifiers.

For today's prompt, I want you to take the phrase "And Suddenly (blank)," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write the poem. Some examples: "And suddenly we were lost," "And suddenly over," "And suddenly banana," "And suddenly sudden," "And suddenly the poem I was writing turned into a killer robot," etc.
And Suddenly I am Gone
A little speed, a lot
a tilt
hold my hand
who are you? I don't care pray to something
the bolts and belts strain
turbulence oh Christ
wind shear
Then suddenly: beverage service.
Reading about teeth whiteners
or the star gone chubby
calm and stupid
five miles above Reno.
