Thoughts on a Tuesday
IN A ROOM THAT RAINS
BLASTING MUSIC FROM ALL FOUR CORNERS
DIFFERENT PLAYLISTS IN EACH CORNER
1 CORNER FOR ME 1 CORNER FOR YOU
1 CORNER FOR SON 1 CORNER FOR DAUGHTER
WE WAIT FOR THE KIDS TO GO TO SCHOOL
THEN IT STARTS RAINING
WE PRESS A BUTTON THAT STARTS THE MUSIC
ALL FOUR CORNERS WE BUILD THEM
MY CORNER MY MUSIC
YOU ALSO TELL ME WHAT I MAY LIKE HEARING
YOUR CORNER YOUR MUSIC I WON'T PROTEST
IT'S YOUR CAR YOU'RE THE ONE DRIVING
YOU PICK THE STATION
YOU AND I BOTH TALK ABOUT THE KIDS
YOU AND I BOTH DECIDE WHAT TO PUT IN THEIR CORNERS
THEY SEE THESE PLACES EVERY DAY
WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO BE OPEN WITH THEIR FEELINGS
THESE CORNERS ARE NOT THEIR QUARTERS
THESE CORNERS REPRESENT WHO WE ARE WHAT WE DO WHAT WE HAVE
A ROOM WHERE IT RAINS WHERE WE CAN PLAY VARYING TONES
SIMULTANEOUS AND JUXTAPOSED POINTED INWARD AT THEIR OPPOSITE
MAYBE IT IS FREE REIGN WHEN IT RAINS
WE CAN BE CLOSE OR WE CAN BE DISTANT IN THE SAME ROOM
MAYBE I CAN'T GET AWAY FROM MYSELF
PERHAPS I GET SOME SUPERGLUE STICK MYSELF TO ONE PLACE
I DESPERATELY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OTHER PLACES
I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHING AFAR, HISTORY
WE ONLY SHARE THIS ROOM TOGETHER WHETHER IT RAINS OR SHINES
BUT WE ONLY PUT THE MUSIC ON WHEN IT'S RAINING
UNLESS WE'RE OUT, EVEN THEN WE COULD RIG A REMOTE SYSTEM
OR ADJUST THE ADAPTER SO IT AUTOMATICALLY PLAYS WHEN IT RAINS
ALL IT NEEDS IS AN OFF SWITCH
EXCEPT WE WOULD BE GOD KNOWS WHERE
HOW THEN WOULD WE HEAR IT
LUCKY FOR ME LIFE IS SHORT
I DON'T TIME FOR ANY OF THIS
THEN IF IT'S RAINING AND THE KIDS ARE HOME I'LL PASS
I REALLY PREFER THE RAIN TO FALL BY ITSELF IN THERE IF THE KIDS ARE AROUND I SHOULD BE GIVING THEM MORE OF MY ATTENTION AND WHATNOT
WHEN THEY GET OLDER AND I'M GETTING SLOWER THEY CAN USE THAT ROOM TOGETHER THEMSELVES' OR BUILD THEIR OWN RAIN ROOM IN THEIR HOUSE.
AFTER THEY MOVE OUT
THAT ROOM IS FOR ME, IT'S FOR THE RAINS.
THEY WILL FIND THEIR OWN WAY
IT'S FOR THE NEIGHBORS TO HEAR ALL MUFFLED THROUGH
THE LOUDNESS OF RAIN THAT SURROUNDS US
MAYBE THEY RECOGNIZE THAT TUNE OR THIS TUNE
MAYBE ALL FOUR TUNES
maybe they recognize that tune for another by mistake
