Music as a Distraction
Long hair gets in the way as the guitarist starts to strum, eyes closed, nails long, nails painted, mic close
she’s mine, i’m hers, honey, darling, baby, love me and i’ll love you
Bodies together, sound between, light above
Snapping, clapping, strumming, yelling
Whispering, humming, tapping, silence
Beat that!
“Is everything alright?”
G-d no.
Let’s just listen to the music
Turn it up so I don’t have to think about what I want
Why do you get to be happy when i have to be sad?
That’s not fair
My sadness allows your happiness
Of course I don’t blame you
You didn’t do this to me
This poem is about:
Me
