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.
