Right.

Boomin’ and cryin’

Can’t stand those shrilly ones

that sting (whining)

those rough and gruff ones

that scratch (burly man)

those crackin’- ridin’ on pride ones

that crinkle and wrinkle

their way through (puberty).

What’s the worse sound you’ve heard?

 

So last week I see my doctor,

I tell him “Doc, somethin’ ain’t right.

I can’t sleep at night.

Mounds and mounds of sounds poundin’

‘round and ‘round and ‘round-”

He won’t ever prescribe me, see

says that’s my job-

 

Was he wrong?

pencil

sneeze- excuse me

 

Tastin’ ain’t my job

but when that sweet string of savory

notes sweep and sway,

seducing and reducing me to

serendipity,

 

it’s not a job to feel.

 

pencil

 

I ain’t a heart.
