Go - Chance Poem

This is a chance poem:
write a poem by selecting words or phrases from a dictionary in conformity with the numbers in your birth date. if you were born on 5/7/62 choose the first word as well as the closing word from pages 5, 7, 6, and 2. etc etc.

I used my SSN because my birthday was lame and had too many zeros. Also instead of using a dictionary (because i have no idea where ours are) I used the song "Go" by Boys Like Girls. Here's what I came up with.


Wasted and wasting away
‘cause you been hiding for days
Yeah I know it’s not easy
Follow the lights to the city

Wasted and wasting away
Little change of the heart
But I got a little hope that today you’ll face your fears
‘cause you been hiding for days

Little change of the heart
Yeah it’s not always pretty
You can spend your whole life holding on
Go, take a chance and be strong

Get up and go
Or you can spend your whole life holding on
Don’t look back just go
you can spend your whole life holding on
