You should stay home from school more often.

We always find our song in noise
said Millwheel to the geese. Your songs
are futile said the Shotgun Man, you're
grinding's obsolete. Press lightly
on the spacebar, Son, before the moon
grows dark, and kids in leather-coated
cars tune mufflers in the park.

Said Vacuum to the symphony, why can't
I turn you off? Don't come in here—I'd
swallow you and all your German talk.
My brother grinds his teeth at night
and dreams of tin cans chasing wedding cars.

Now sirens fill my inner ear;
jets skim the maple trees. The garbage man's
sweet murmurings encourage me to song.


Robert Paul.
