So a while back, there was a very short-lived thread on the message boards entitled "lines from a book". But the guy who started it just really doesn't play well with others and every post on it (including my own) sort of comes off like literary snobbery.
That's no way to build community. It occurred to me a little earlier that the literary form most (particularly young) people know best is popular song. Plus I'm sure I'm not the only one who could use a few leads on interesting music. So show us a bit of lyrical wizardry. The lines don't have to be deep, but try to keep them interesting. And SHORT! No pee breaks allowed :)
For example:
"You're in his car getting high
pair of fuzzy dice in the dashboard light
Supertoke and the smoke is in his eyes
Your head is swimming with the anticipation.
Suddenly, you're puking out the window
with your pants around your knees.
But he's a nice boy, so he drops you on your street"
Lyrics from the song 'Almost Summer', by Jason Collett,
