LOUDSPEAKER
You’re a device always channeling one electrical signal
over another into a sound loud enough to be heard
uptown you came to get down jump around get some
feeling we’re all devices powered by impulses we don’t
understand what we’re saying or hearing you don’t
care what we’re thinking say what you like do you
know if anyone is listening loudspeaker your voice
is up for grabs play what you want the future is under
new management we don’t know why new snow keeps
getting stuck in old snow waiting for friends to come
dig it up with their shovels or why a dying battery loves
its toy even though it won’t play or why the moon loves
channeling its lonesomeness through our bones who
knows if riot dogs are barking I LOVE YOU at the crowd
whoever wants to be happy must do it now if someone
alerts us to leave the premises tell them we came to get
down we came to get down not to give up jump around.
