Ears, merely

AUDIO bits fixed on the side of your head hear sounds in the
INBOX fixed in the inside of your head, provide a
CHART of sound waves to the mists of your brain, where they’re
DEALT with by grey matter and reproduced again.

Stirring Music

AUDIO, digital, streaming, or otherwise, has
DEALT me blows and also so much joy.
CHARTs, though I subscribe to measurement, landing in
INBOX, have not the magic to stir my soul.

Fever

CHART-topper in the works,
AUDIO streaming through the headphones–then
DEALT a tough blow with a message in the
INBOX: supply-chain shortage means no cowbell.

FERAL current of generational change introduces new instinct:
LATTE, the liturgical stop for coffee.
EQUAL instincts? Who knows? Each wellspring is opaque, save marketing’s role.

PUREE you make of the law. Of course I spanked my child – fifty years ago.’
