Prompt: Turn on the radio/tv to any channel. Write a poem inspired by the first thing you hear.
I blinked at the sign
Money in hand
It wasn’t possible
So I took a step back
The man to my right
Frowned as I froze
My eyes wide and bright
Face pale in shock
But he couldn’t have known
The fear that I felt
When I looked at the vending machine
And its words were my own
