This is pretty cool

Put your music player on shuffle. The first lines of twenty songs = a poem. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.

Here's mine:

Don't let go

In the heart of the night when it's dark
Breathe in the water
Lay down your sweet and weary head
When did I choose to be blind?
I know you want it
Born to fight and we're born to flee
If you want it slowly don't knock on my door
Whenever I step outside
Memories are just where you laid them
When you're around I don't know what to do
Every time our eyes meet
You let me violate you
Turn around
Run run run away so long lost never coming
Oh, you know I have seen
Another head hangs lowly
Do you know that I could never leave you?
Hey mama, hey mama, look around
I'm sitting across from you
No walls can keep me protected

Kind of has an incestuous tone to it, don't you think?
