Mozart

 

 

Time crept through the tape

to my ears today.

Soft pillows under my head

matched those inside,

fluffed by the orchestra.

Fresh air played its song

through my window

and rose with the composer,

while the simplicity of the melodies

and the complexity of the harmonies

helped me breathe.

Tingling in my spine

showed the road to a natural high.

But Mozart's secret was not revealed,

so I simply treated the experience

like a great meal

I don't know how to cook,

won't put on pounds,

and will improve my mind.

I'll never be finished.
