Well then, the clock is ticking...

Want to organize another writing workshop, possibly before Sunday, but also want to start throwing drafts and such on the blog for the benefit of our ladies in (or soon to be in) the field (Cara, Ava, Dhira). I'll throw up some questions for the audience here. The notion is that the questions begin to act as a kind of glue between sections, by turning audience attention this way or that and by invoking some level of commitment/complicity out in them. Anyways, here's a start, using a few different rhetorical strategies. Please start adding to these, any and everyone, and from there we can whittle them down and plug them into the emerging choreography, if that method sounds good to everyone.

If you’re worried about tomorrow, face forward.

If you count the gallons going into your gas tank, turn right.

If you count the seconds until the Second coming, look up.

In flight, the land disappears under water, and where then do birds land?

What do animals know that we ignore?

What is everyone so worriedworried about(sic)?

Is your universe getting bigger or smaller?

They say the clock is ticking- ticking on the life of the sun, ticking on the timers of bombs, ticking on an elliptical universe, ticking on the arrival of the Messiah, ticking on soot-darkened sky and I want to know, if you’re even listening, which clock do you hear ticking?
