Beat


I just had a thought
well, a few thoughts
about music being so far away
only the beat is discernible
then suddenly its here
like its bursting into the room
and you can hear every melody
and the beat is changed
because you got it so wrong before
Or when you lie in the silence
and the TV is rambling somewhere
distance babbling, incessant quiet noise
and then you get up
to walk closer
and listen
but its not there
no TV, just silence again
everyone is asleep
and you realise you've been listening
to your own head.
