By Hazel Cline & Steven Cline
An experiment in dual mediumship—A search for that elusive third Other created in the spaces between two people. The pieces in this volume were all written live and collectively, using an online document. One player would begin automatic writing as the other watched. When a natural pause happened in the flow of writing, the other player would immediately jump in, continuing the flow and taking it in directions which to the other player felt totally unexpected. It proved to be a fantastic method for cutting our own limited, predictable selves off at the pass, rerouting too-familiar patterns of thought into unmapped lands. Yes, it was a lovely little adventure we took together here, with chaos at the wheel. Quite a trickster isn’t he, eh? This third invisible Other? One to watch closely, for sure. For sure. We think now that he holds all the keys.
Directions: Each participant chooses one material characteristic they associate with an abstract concept. Combine them all into one list, and draw it.

Burrowing Creature
Bathed in a fountain of light
I am among these
Where did the cat go?
I love the stars before me
An emissary
Under the elm tree
Love has a shadowy door
Hope for womankind
hard to say out loud
I have no macaroni
It’s in the alley
Butter pancake bet
Law books say it’s all for naught…
Sequence sewn, denied
Dream the centipede
The river is not too bold
A refreshing taste
Butterfly garden
The flower digs deeper, up
Afterburner rats
Cicada farts up
Doubting tomas rorschach test
Sarsaparilla please
I am infinite
An entity that looks for
A lifting of the day
Where the sky shelters
Softly whispered in the night
A smile when you’re sad
At my sister’s wake
A beautiful way to speak
Turn back the clock now
Nobody, really
Please god ask me again, friend
Ok fine…who’s there?
Ham sandwich rocks hard
A mind made up of steel wool
A terrible roar
Down with orchestra
Will there be moonlight shining?
Pinprick in the whale
Where do cows go for repose at the end of summer?
Give it to the farmers.
What is an armadillo?
Because it’s all just illusion anyway.
Why do you find it so tiresome.. the continued effort?
I have too much purple in my wardrobe.
Who put the sticky note in the mailbox?
The swamp where cicadas sing.
Why do you dream?
The white fluff of the sheep holds the key.
Directions: Draw an assembly line across a sheet of paper. Draw the first part of a process, and then fold your section over so that the next person cannot see what you have done. The next person draws the second sequence in the process, and so on until completed. At the end, unfold and decide what object is being created.
