Talking into the Twitter Stream

Attempting to talk into the twitter stream, to make my spoken words converge with tweets. Generative language, data, performance, poetry. using voice recognition program Dragon & a python sketch that takes the last word of each sentence, queries twitter and returns a tweet containing the word and the word that followed. Could i use this to make an ever lasting sentence?

import json
import simplejson
import os, sys
import time
import commands 
import subprocess
import twitter
CONSUMER_KEY = "****"
CONSUMER_SECRET = "****"
OAUTH_TOKEN = "****"
OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET = "****"

auth = twitter.oauth.OAuth(OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET,
                           CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)

twitter_api = twitter.Twitter(domain='api.twitter.com', 
                              api_version='1.1',
                              auth=auth

                                )
f = open("translate.txt", "r") #define file path

key=[]
q = [] 
for line in f:
    sentence = line.split()
    words = sentence[-1::]
    key.append(words)

p = open("translationfull.txt", "w",)
sawword= False 
q = key 
print q 
count = 2
search_results= twitter_api.search.tweets(q=q, count=count)
for status in search_results['statuses']:
    text = status['text']
    words = text.split()
    print words

    for i in words:
        if q in words:
            sawword=True
            print i
            p.write(word) 
            p.writelines("\n ")

            
        elif (sawword):
            print word 
            p.write(word)
            p.writelines("\n")
            sawword= False 
            time.sleep(2)
        p.close()
