218

Once a year in April you sing the song
who's words you never understood
and how long do you think it took
to be written?

But you sing it every year
waiting between phrases as your guests
sit around the table and mouth it
to their plates

And between phrases
you close your eyes and the words
are on wires that tickle your neck as your guests
move their mouths
