1941

The question the work of art poses itself
Isn't just how much to do

Destroyed physicist seeks nativist yahtzee champ
Destiny conveys itself from politics to tones

It is someone's job to care about the paper
Someone else's to know how the piano keys feel

I rather love the conditions
Under which starlight finds the land

Hey, what accompaniment do you like for
The echoes of your chaotic movie career

Reset button where my heart should be
And where the dictionary gets undressed

The love that we summon into being
Floods from the room and down the stairs
