   1. Communicate (vibe) with your house plants, or if you don’t have plants, the nearest tree (can you walk to it or is the communication through a window?)—then record that communication.
   
   2. Mysterious neighbor noises. Write about what you hear when you are home—what sound patterns emerge?
   
   3. Write a one-word poem.
   
   4. Write a poem called “don’t tell me what to do.”
