lotus0kidLooks like we've got a nice bit of snow going tonight. About time, right, my fellow Mid-Atlanticers? Anyway, I could be reading fic now, or writing it, or watching more Vlogbrothers vids (it's really awful how each one is usually no more than four minutes- keeps making you think you have time for "just one more"... until you don't). But instead, I want to try a meme I just invented! Hm, is it really a meme if you're the first to do it? I feel like the definition of a meme would have to include some kind of lifespan greater than.. right now. Anyway, it's kind of a combination of that one where you use your music library to write a poem by taking the first lines of thirteen songs that come up on shuffle, and the one where you write down the first song that comes up for certain words when you type them into the search bar. I'm going to take a few words from that list, and write a poem using the first lines of all the tracks that come up when I type each word into the search bar. Get it? Sure you do! So here we go!
Hate
My television, your television, in different rooms.
You're primitive, and you're cynical to me-
watched her as she wiped her eyes. You don't make me sorry.
Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you.
(I want you to want me.)
Dark
Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel-
I was kidnapped really young by the sweet taste of love
because we don't know how to back down.
I can't get rid of you-
hey you, do you remember me?
Love of mine, one day you will die,
I'm tired from exploring you.
For once I want to be the car crash,
all around me are familiar faces,
I am floating out.
Happy
Got an AK-47, well you know it makes me feel all right.
I'm so tired of being upset,
I'm only happy when it rains.
You could be happy-
imagine me and you,
you had the best but you gave her up.
Happy feet, I've got those happy feet.
happy days are here again.
That's exhausted the viable options from that one list. So let's try some others of my own devising (devision?)!
Easy
Clouds hung hugely and oppressively-
what's a boy to do?
Our signals are getting lost in the ether.
Now you're sliding down,
let's take it nice and easy.
Life is the same and it always will be.
Silver (failure) Beautiful
Oh beautiful, for heroes proved
after all that we've been through-
haven't we met?
When I am older than these small goddamn hills
I've been watching your world from afar.
Give us one, give us one reason to, give us one reason to make an impression.
In autumn, leaves won't leave the trees,
the heart is a bloom.
Walk
I go out walking after midnight,
broken-hearted, don't get me started.
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine.
See the dwarfs and see the giants
walk on by the house where you still live.
I don't want to walk around with you
and love is not the easy thing.
I'd say that worked out pretty well, though I might add a proviso like.. only use the songs that have the particular word in the title. I got screwed by a lot of album names in there. And it gets tricky when you want to be true to the lines that come up, but you'd also like the poem to make sense. I've compromised by fiddling with the order the songs came in and the punctuation, while refusing to change any words or delete lines that are awkward. And now it seems to have mostly stopped snowing. Boo-urns, says my inner child.
