The MO of many high modernists of the late 20's through the early 50's was to delve into the psychology of individual perception. High modernists argued that everything has many unique ways of being viewed -- and the way it was viewed was up to the viewer and his consciousness with the familiar. Objects with supposedly set perceptions began taking on new forms and the individual psychology was applauded by many famous writers who applied these, then, unconventional methods, including William Faulkner, James Joyce, and Robert Lowell. Even through the confines of limited experience, the author was able to employ these idiosyncratic methods [as seen in Bishop's poem]

Example: Elizabeth Bishop's poem "The Fish,"

... He hung a grunting weight,
battered and venerable
and homely. Here and there
his brown skin hung in strips
like ancient wallpaper,
and its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper...

... He was speckled with barnacles,
fine rosettes of lime,
and infested
with tiny white sea-lice,
and underneath two or three
rags of green weed hung down.
While his gills were breathing in
the terrible oxygen
— the frightening gills,
fresh and crisp with blood,
that can cut so badly —
I thought of the coarse white flesh
packed in like feathers,
the big bones and the little bones,
the dramatic reds and blacks
of his shiny entrails,
and the pink swim-bladder
like a big peony...

Even through the confines of limited experience [all home, or household imagery], the author was able to employ these idiosyncratic methods with much success.

Take 300 or so words to, in any format of your choosing, describe something mundane and apply these familiar-to-individual perception methods. Remember to re-look at different objects and have them take on new exciting forms -- see where your consciousness can take you.
