Are you kidding me? No, no. I'll grab my iPod.

I am now a firm believer that iTunes is directly controlled by God. How else can you explain the phenomenon of facebook note postings that form such a coherent description of the universe? Two out of Two random iTunes oriented "bulletins" on facebook, if you will, have turned out pretty sweet. This one told me to write a poem using the first line of the first 20 songs on my playlist. The title is #21.

"Under Pressure"

Yeah. I mean, I hear what you're saying.
Meet me in outer space. We could spend a night and watch the earth come up.
You got a great car. What's wrong with it today?
Right about now, funk soul brother. Check it out now.
I am the son and heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.
You could be happy. I won't know.
Jerry was a race car driver. Drove so Goddamn fast.
Whenever I'm alone with you, It's like I am home again.
A long time ago, me and my brother kyle here, we were hitchhiking on a long, lonesome road.
Crack that whip, give the past the slip.
I've come to bring the pain, hardcore from the brain.
You let me violate you.
Oh, you're gonna take me home tonight.
It's a wonderful night. Gotta take it from me.
Darling, you've got to let me know. Should I stay or should I go?
Summer's coming too fast. Winter's been here too long.
I'll kiss you once. I'll kiss you twice.
I was angry when I met you.
Something takes a part of me, something lost and never seen.
Well-painted passion, you rightly suspect.

Like the playful banter of a bashful romance and ongoing car theme? So it may not be the hand of the almighty laying his finger on random mode, but it's godly nonetheless. Makes me want to revamp it into a real poem. Here is the list of songs this fake one came from.
