love the way that this emphasizes the process of composition over the delivery of output! what initially feels like overly constrained options becomes clear texture of the poem itself. I'm really glad you chose to end it the way you did.

A technical note - I think I hit a glitch on the screen that I've linked here, as it kept adding more "Imagine it ______, though" without giving me an option to continue. Reloading the webpage fixed the issue, but just a heads up. Frankly I thought it made for an interesting effect, but probably not an intentional one since I was temporarily locked there.
Thanks so much Brendan! and AH the bug! Indeed an interesting effect but not intentional lol, fortunately I think I know the fix.
Aw I love the descriptions of human interactions... it's all about choice. Reminds me of adlibs in a good way!
Haha, MadLibs have been very inspirational to me and were directly influential on this piece when I first started writing it (many years ago now!). Thanks for playing!
