if I could wish it all away
there’s no sense in testing the water
it’s the same as it’s ever been
every wednesday morning at nine
the city tests the loudspeaker system
one day it’ll prove itself to be futile
or utile —it’s funny how only time will tell
lenny kravitz sings about getting away
I tap my foot & chime in right out loud
replacing his simple words with mine
as if I’m some sort of ad lib junkie
knowing I’ve not a say in the matter
nor interested in wishing it all away
november two thousand twenty-two
