a piece of music always sounds different to me at night
it doesn’t matter whether it’s simple-minded bubblegum
or a complex piece with a half dozen movements
composed by some half mad german
while trying to stab at imaginary parasites
scurrying up & down the staff
& you’re ashamed to admit it never stuck
the same way that dumb pop song did
no matter how many times
you laid in a pitch-black room
listening for every small nuance in melody
& subtle time changes
while waiting for a woman to whisper—
do you remember that song
& you nod your head
even though it’s so dark
that she can’t see a word you say
