Found Poetry

Okay, here's a meme for you all that I just made up, which riffs off the previous one. Use the aforementioned Random Quotes page and weave the final words of each quotation, in order, into a poem. The first line is the title.

The Future Invades Our Lives

Keep in the sunlight
Get off the ground
From blind belief in another

In lunatic asylums
It has been a fine day
You have tried to make it precise

If you find yourself up there
Wonderful
Be a nonconformist.

Being an entrance somewhere else
For each other

The truth

Won't get much sleep
We change the world
Being thought unjust.

Obscurity is forever
According to our belief

For general consumption

To fail in so many different ways
I am

We who inhabit the body lack.
