Instead of thoughts I have a chorus
of voices singing my reactions
& inner monologues
One set of voices devoted to
whatever pop tune I've wedged
between my fancy & fears
those they sing with glee
Another set play my greek chorus
chiming in croaking out
danger & longing because I need song
to be able to process my life
I need voice to enunciate & emote
need drums & bass to feel anything at all
& need melody to
shake loose my soul
