Singing breaks things,
My Aunty told me,
as she twirled around her house
with a feather duster in her hands
and a carefree nonchalance to her voice.
Singing definitely breaks things.
Cantors add and
Choristers multiply,
while conductors can’t effuse
the simplest of extrusions.
Nothing else here.
Nothing else to sing about
in my glass house
songs are rocks.
lyrics are temptation
musicality shuns its own symbiosis.
Because the reasons are quite simple,
so says my Aunty,
The reasons are so simple,
those reasons
for singing
breaking things.
But she never told me
what those reasons were.
