Julien,

This suggests something:  If you've got a topic a theme or a story, or 
even a category, post it and ask for contributions or edits.  Sounds 
like a Wiki.  May not be the way the great composing duos and teams did 
it, but it's 2007 1/2!

Actually, given a fairly like-minded group of people the result might be 
coherent and unexpected at the same time.  Even posting a fragment might 
pop open a complete inspiration that heads off in a totally different 
direction.

Here, I'll get you started, Mr. Phelps, should you choose to accept this 
mission:

Concentric circles ripple,
In the fabric of your thoughts,
Just a tiny motive pebble,
 From the depths of what we sought.

Now, to further illustrate...I AM AUTOWIKI - I changed "just" several 
times, worked in "motive" and changed "sought."  I could make the point 
even more strongly by bouncing off that little piece to something 
perhaps related or traceable in some way but still very different, 
however I'll pass on that demonstration.

In any event Julien, you can count on my contributions should you put 
something up somewhere.

p.s  One last thing - what popped into my mind to prompt those four 
lines was - "we" imples a relationship, generally intimate heterosexual, 
"sought" implies there is something desired and pursued, the whole 
rippling impact on a body of thought prompted by this "motive pebble" as 
a metaphor representing an event or initiator present within the 
situation itself.

Problem here is it's way too easy to drop, no make that leap, off the 
cliff of pretentiousness.  Abstract is okay, obscure is still 
acceptable, contrived has gone too far.  All those lines are really 
trying to say is "we were trying to make things happen between 
ourselves, but after
something jarring occurred you, I, or we are feeling and thinking 
differently."  How the rest of this, and I really don't want to go too 
far fleshing out something spontaneous that may have little merit, might 
play out would be in images of explanation or argument, offering of 
alternatives, a plea for consideration, whatever...
