a scattering of raindrops
pattering on the skylight
furnace stops stove ticks
the hour before midnight
pattering on the skylight
furnace stops stove ticks
the hour before midnight
a year everyone hated
ending without a ripple
eternal music of the stars
humming in human ears
I am only here right now
laying down a basic groove
synthesizing the raw data
needed for a celebration
laying down a basic groove
synthesizing the raw data
needed for a celebration
shower passed or paused
I listen for perfect silence
behind the buzzy drone
deaf to the nonexistent
I listen for perfect silence
behind the buzzy drone
deaf to the nonexistent
fireworks sound and light
only in the back of mind
flowing into easy words
no call to make it harder
only in the back of mind
flowing into easy words
no call to make it harder
