Directions: Take a ziplock bag. Pass around the circle. Each player puts in one line of a poem, either written automatically or cut out of a magazine. Once finished, pull out the lines and assemble however you like. As an alternate last step, close up the ziplock bag, and then mail it out to a complete stranger chosen by chance via google maps so that they too can assemble it at their leisure.

We decide to collectively make an imaginary map of Atlantis. Three, in fact. Afterwards, unable to choose our favorite and deciding to maximize chaos, we walk out the door to stroll or perhaps I should say swim through the streets of Atlanta using all three of these new Atlantean maps, simultaneously.
