(Poetic) Protest Song


Today is another day where I will struggle to 


Exist in static

The worn grooves on a record

Shouting their voices


Free myself from a simple dread that


Only a single sound escapes the broken sound machine


What if this is the only trick I have left?


Left to my own

Devices/song continues

Droning endless/sing

Me another one/now


My life, a reduction in force, less


Notes looking prettier than before

Tempted by the truth, no more


You can’t tell me I’m not trying here. I promise


The notes in an avalanche again

Given as a gift to right now

Left out for another day

Find it when they find it

Absence and Presence

Both are the same

In static

Buzzing

Squalls


I’m going to continue through it all/Going to know the noise/Going to keep exploring some edge of something and hope it takes shape/eventually
