auditorial
music plays like a storm
applause follows like hard rain on concrete
the velvet seat becomes another world.
i don't mind when music
is a bicycle chain
thrashed against a floor.
i get the rhythm.
i expect a floor to be a drum
and my footsteps a metronome
for the clumsy dance that is out of this world.
applaud only when the music has stopped.
i told you the last time you came around
i wanted to know what you had for me.
information or incantation
material or ethereal
the edge of my chair
became comfortable
because i can get used to anything.
hello, drama.
is that you who has been leaving
silent messages on my answering machine?
are you the one who has been painting
my light moments jet-red?
are you aware that i'm not afraid of you?
that no matter how far you go
and how much damage you try to give me,
i will flinch less and less
and eventually laugh harder and louder.
i told you the last time you came around
that we were through.
i find it very un drama like
that you weren't listening.

baritone angel
trade your guitar for a harp
wear the black halo
even though your voice
sounded like it had been flushed
down a burning toilet
we still listened.
