Ok, since I really have nothing intelligent to say I’m going to do a meme i saw on Elizabeth Bear’s journal… a couple of times now actually, but the latest is here
Put your music 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 song is the title.
It’s a strange day
keep the noise low
momentary sensory promises
before I can open my all too eager eyes
I feel a little bit left of centre
god sometimes you just don’t come through
I haven’t ever really found a place to call home
blind talking (blind talking)
oh, life is bigger, it’s bigger than you
it was me on that road, but you couldn’t see me
you believe in what nobody else does
see the stone set in your eyes
inside you’re pretending
let’s lie and say it’s alright
I’ve been alone for so long
not that I’m that hard to please;
there’s not enough, enough love
the failing sky grows darker every day
I know that I’ve been mad in love before
follow me into deeper waters
I lost my friend
