“Should I start talking or you?”
“You’re already talking.”
“Right, yeah. This whole thing is hard to do.”
“But easier than walking.”
“True…so how have you been?”
“Good, I guess. Been working, made stir fry.”
“Nice. Yeah, things are peachy keen.”
“C’mon that’s such a lie.”
“What? No, things are fine. Yeah, I’m okay!”
“We were together five years…”
“You still know my birthday?”
“Yuh-uh, and all of your hopes and fears.”
“You always were dramatic.”
“And you fell in love, so…”
“Loving you, well, it’s automatic.”
“You always were Romeo.”
“What can I say? I charm.”
“Ha. Funny. You can say that again.”
“I made you laugh! I charm.”
“I didn’t mean…insane.”
“Hey, what’s up? Are you crying right now?”
“Sorry. It’s just- don’t hug me.”
“I wanna fix this. How?”
“Promise me it works this time. My plea.”
“I’ll do anything for you.”
“I just want to be us.”
“I love you, still. There’s no other shoe.”
“Love you too. It’s obvious.”

Poemosaurus Rex Challenge Winners
Hard to conceive, now, how extraordinary it would have been to find the bones of those terrible lizards in the earth — in a time before humans had conceived of anything other than a Great Chain of Being, a static creation. Yet long after Darwin they still have a hold over us, these creatures which are the ancestors of sparrows and seagulls. All hail the dinosaur! They are at once real and mythic, objects of science and objects of wonder, exhibitions in museums and children’s toys. No wonder Vocal Creators responded with such a variety of work to our Poemosaurus prompt.
