The first is right. A master list is possible; it's neither contrary to fact nor a wish, so it's not subjunctive. If sentences start worrying me like that, I usually consider rewording, e.g., "A master list would make it easier to sort the boxes."
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I shall rise
I shall rise
Clean the night from my eyes
Scatter nightmares to the skies
I shall rise
I shall rise
Firm resolution to be wise
No more faltering into lies
I shall
rise
I shall
rise
Reject that which
Nullifies
I shall. . .
I shall. . .
Rise.
Seek that which purifies
(o silence amplifies
my guise)
I shall rise I shall rise!
Break
these ties
I will. . .
I. . .
Will. . .

Because books.
Erin! Dude, that's awesome!
These are my favorite lines:
Clean the night from my eyes
Scatter nightmares to the skies
Go, Erin, with the inspired poetry!

So, to consider this request I read a couple more times. (didn't suffer)
and the only thing I would suggest is where you have
I shall rise I shall rise!
Break
these ties
I would say maybe
I shall rise I shall rise!
Break break
these ties
(so new here I hesitate massively to interject thoughts)

Always Anti-fascist!
Feeling very weird about some praise I just got for writing that I'm totally confused, lonely, and my life sucks.(I used prettier words than that, but still. I was on a deadline and therefore exploited my personal issues and now someone thinks I'm emotionally complicated instead of too lazy to make shit up) It feels both terrible and FG.
