off the scale

Notes (2)

Do you hear

the music play

duos

chorals

dance like Jagger

how’s the figure

 

Keepin’ it down?

no too late

tipped up

the scale of C

let it be

B

 

G

E

Deeesaster

just sing

into town

with your sound

 

Get the bus

got free pass

not now

bus is out

I’ll take the car

if I can see through the haar

 

Of my mind

dusky

pathological

neuroses aflame

why how what began this germ

spreading like a venomous hum

 

Why eat

bats

rats

wildcats

when tomatoes are most sweet

red, yellow, grapes compete

 

Bad for dogs

do they know

feel

anxiety

can they sense fear

smell the cavalier

 

And the little ones

our Beloved

adored

rest assured

we’re told they’ll be saved

this time engraved

 

Off the scale

of temporal times

parents

teachers, nurses

doctors an inner mess

outwardly smiling, doing their best

 

Music prevails

the song of life

through strife

grief

hold on to that note

And belief, stay afloat

  1. Makes you think eh…your words I mean. What are the young children taking in, can dogs really sense something, doctors and nurses families must be worried every day. But you finish with a positive and note sinister note. : )
