Afraid to turn my
My
Phone recorder on
But its
[Trudge trudge trudge trudge]
What’s needed
To make
My thoughts a performance
But if the recording machine
weren’t turned on
Then I wouldn’t be able to
retrieve my thoughts
It's a performance
It’s on camera
It’s a media hit
So that’s what the phone recorder
does
For me
First registering the fear
Of the performance
That I started with
That I mentioned almost before
I even turned the recording machine on
[Trudge trudge trudge trudge]
The fear
The fear the fear the fear
The silence
So that I won’t have to listen
to so many gaps
[Pressing the Skip silence
button]
And now the gaps aren’t going
to be in the recording
So what more is there
Beyond
There to say at all
[Someth]ing the camera on
