[CHALLENGE: QUICK, WRITE]

Step 1. Pull out your old junk drawer. The one full of pocketknives and cold medicine and concert ticket stubs and matches from places you’ve already forgotten about.
Step 2. Use your stash to inspire a decastich—a 10-line poem with no restrictions on meter or rhyme.
Step 3. Post your poem below. (Bonus points for rhyming anyway.)
