MEME!
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.
The glorious poem that resulted:
Every time I See That Greyhound
Devil with the blue dress, it seems.
This boy, bathed in ridicule, (Don't be Shy, Uh huh) -
make me tonight Sail lightly on winds.
You are far, Ordinary boys.
Your romantic rights are all that you got.
Women, listen to your mothers:
There's a house/ Love and learn/ Come fly with me.
May god bless and keep you always.
Nós vamos para longe.*
If you are wonderin' what I'm gonna do: Boredom.
Hanging by myself.
I'm an engine driver.
This ain't a song for the broken hearted With all the grain of babylon -
You are the latest contender.
*(trans. 'We go for far.')

in response to the lj suggested entry, my plan for any disaster is to run. sometimes i dream about jumping over the fences in my back yard and which route i would take through the neighbourhood if it came to it. no fancy 've-hee-cewels' or 'buy-syk-cals' for me, i plan to survive on and with my own two feet (possibly only for a very short time though).
ps: alice, meagan and i tried to have an x-files marathon last saturday to tide us over until january the 15th. we spent about 5 minutes talking about what a dreamboat/bad actor young david duchovny was, then the next 2.5 episodes were spent bitching about supernatural 4:10. then i went to the bathroom, and when i came back they had put on supernatural season 1. we all pretended this was perfectly normal.
the phrase 'broken inside' comes to mind. |
