BRO FIE GHT


The gimmick—I mean restraint—of this piece is that I can only use valid three letter airport codes. This was not my idea, rather, Nasser Hussain came up with it…and then made an entire poetry book using the concept! I’ll put a link to him in the box at the bottom, but for now…

This was actually an exercise that I had to do for my Creative Writing course—except we only needed to make a single sentence. To be honest, I had a bit of fun with it, so I used up all the codes I had dug out of Hussain’s book.
