Snagged from cmonkatiekatie:
Put your MP3 player/playlist on shuffle and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.


Cowboys on the road tonight crying in their sleep
I close my eyes
There is a wall that runs right through me
Midnight at Graceland in '72

I am an anarchist
People will know when they see this show
I never understood before

I don't know if I can yell any louder
So much pain
I never loved nobody fully

Oh, life is bigger
For those of you who tried but didn't make it
We sail tonight for Singapore

It's bugging me, grating me
Do you want to see the world?
Doesn't take much to make me happy

Well I miss my mother
You're made of my rib, my baby

In a hotel room just off Times Square it's like a closet
We'll do it all

While I was watching, you did a slow dissolve
