words from wordle 1,940
UNCAP became a surprisingly versatile action word in this round. Lari turns it into the last step in a gleeful sequence of undoing, auntie jj makes it the urgent response to a strange photo opportunity, and Diana gets a beautifully dry comic turn from uncapping a Montblanc when the auditors arrive. Mark takes the word somewhere more atmospheric, where darkness, sound, smoke, and play all seem to emerge from the same hazy musical space.
Across the group, UNCAP worked best when it actually released something—a picture, a response, a performance, a jar’s contents, or a machine’s potential. That gave the final constraint real agency: once something was uncapped, the poem moved.

They BEGAN to dig
a CANAL with NICAD cells.
“UNCAP batteries!”
Solo Renga
They BEGAN the dig:
a CANAL. Buzzing gears plough,
tilled earth falls away
NICAD source, quiet, gentle
