Put your music collection 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 got my head checked


You were my sun.

Got a secret; can you keep it?
Let’s admire the pattern forming.

I like the way you cross the street cause you’re...precious,
and she’s lost in coma where it’s beautiful.

There’s nothing wrong with me.
Dress like we do.
Eye on the TV ‘cause tragedy thrills me
in the middle of a gunfight.

I’m not saying this to shake you up.
Check out the real situation:
I really want to do just what my body wants to.
Ash to ash and dust to dust;
I wasn’t looking for a lifetime with you.

I’m gonna wake up: yes and no.
I woke the same as any other day.
Dear darlin’,
let chaos entwine on defenseless soil.
Raise your glass.
It’s in the water, baby.
