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.


I STARED AT YOU

i've got my things packed
where has that old friend gone
i linger in the doorway
one time one world two times one love

long lost words whisper slowly to me
step out the door and it feels like rain
i've tried to kill the pain
dear mr. president come take a walk with me

i hate feeling like this
this time it's colder now
i lie here paralytic inside this soul
i've tried to paint you a picture

mama never said it would be like this
nobody knows, nobody knows but me
lazy old day, rolling away
tonight i'm so alone, this sorrow takes a hold

dance all night, dance all night
you don't remember me, but i remember you
here am i just another goodbye
pilgrim how you journeyed
