First Lines
This flirts with coherence now and then, though not for long.
Put your MP3 player 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.
"Video Games Train the Kids for War"
I got dragged into going out
Respect was all that I have wanted
Watch you smile through crooked teeth
Let the strangeness in again
Should I speak?
Say my name and his in the same breath
And yes I believe in what we had but words got in the way
We saw the western coast
In the sky she loves to spy from way up high
I know that you don't know me very well
You are, you are, you are you
I know too well, I know these lines
I bit my tongue and stood in line
Am I so tough enough?
I wear my bomb into my chest
Countdown
She burns friends like a piece of wood
We must play our lives like soldiers in the field
You can look at the menu but you just can't eat
This is an insight
