i don’t know sincerity on a first name basis

audio

its easier to push piano keys than to unlock 
a riveting melody 
i want my grooves to raise the reader's brow like a proud parent
i'd like each twist and turn to ignite the audience like an old car key;
my wrists have paid the piper the price of overpractice
pressing the pedal to the metal as a official seal of pained ownership;
yet i don't know how to play my DNA to my own satisfaction
and i still don't know which skeleton keys will fit my signature.

One thought on “i don’t know sincerity on a first name basis

  1. This is my favorite poem from “Owls That Sneeze in Spirals”. Its a tribute to the creative process itself. I plan to make it the first piece in my anthology.
