TC: Nine Songs
College Music
Students walk back and forth
Between large, squarish buldings,
Carrying their books.
Airplane Music
The plastic trays on the
Laps of the passengers
Jiggle up and down.
TV Music
At 3 a.m., television tells
its secrets to the
armchair sleeper.
Sex Music
Wiry pubic hairs
scratch against each other
deep in the condominium.
Baseball Music
A hot dog paper blows across
the infield, passing into
shadows near third base.
Office Music
The hanged man’s voice
emerges from the dress
of the secretary.
Hospital Music
At night the noises of
those breathing
make a difficult muzak.
Bar Music
He tilts his head
back, and pours his
drink into it.
Highway Music
The cars go by
just like they did
yesterday.
