Improv Level: Advanced
Location: anywhere
Situation: Time travel has been unlocked without sending you the memo. Start any scene and at some point (in time!) everyone freezes, except for one person who then gently rearranges the scene, snaps their fingers (or rings a bell, because bells are nice!) and the scene resumes with the now altered time change.
Bonus Level: Include "easter egg" references to other time travel sources.

How it works:
Use the following quote in your poem anywhere:
Add more of you to who you are
and you'll be able to travel far
It could be at the beginning, in the middle, at the end -- anywhere that suits you. You could even repeat it as often as you like, it is entirely yours to play with.
Notes:
Yes, this is improv so let it flow and yes it is poetry because improv is more than acting and because this site is intended to be a full tilt creativity generator.

Use the following quote to develop an improvised scene in three parts:
Resistance causes friction; friction causes fire, and fire burns.
Optional part four:
Resolve the fire.
Prompt:
"If love is the natural order of things, we should stop resisting..."
Situation:
Any conflict. Contrast that conflict into a more natural order. Wind it down. Search for peace.
"How do you make that happen?"
"That's the challenge..."
The more we pretend the past doesn't matter the more likely it is to haunt us.
Prompt:
Improvise a scene during which at least one character avoids dealing with the past -- its thoughts, its actions, and its consequences.
Notes:
It's drama, so of course, ramp up the stakes and the consequences

What if we could not acknowledge that we are not who we used to be?
And, what if we could?
