Exquisite Corpse, sort of

This is a poetry experiment!

I need your help to create a collaborative poem. I'm hoping it will be nonsensical yet almost mean something. Consider it an electronic version Exquisite Corpse. If you're unfamiliar with the game, click here.

2. Feel free to grab a few lines and repost it as flash fiction or a new poem altogether.

Here's the line:

He came this minute, a blurred gray shape roaring out of a dive ...
Cool!
