Static Buzz
August 26, 2023
stop playing the same notes, ma
you can't help it
fling your long-nailed fingers on the strings
of the instruments
of my heart
try changing the chord or
tempo at which you play
a little softer, please
or play forte
play with the trinkets you hide in your pockets
or play with the ash-filled necklace
dangling over your sundress
oh ma,
you'll play with anything
but your frigid supposing
you'll play with anything
but your dead set rejecting
oh ma, stop playing the same notes please.
