MONDAY THOUGHTS : POETRY PROMPT--TRACKS


Instrumentals-- downloaded from website to tablet

All there was to do, was press “Play”

And in seconds, the air was filled

With results of hard work 

For which none had to pay


Like magic, there was a whole band;

At the right intervals—backing vocals, too

Invisible players, making obsolete 

The work people could certainly do.


The sounds of what musicians actually DID

Will be forwarded over, and o’er

Leading some to believe

There are things they don’t need

Or that don’t have value, anymore 


Why have that, when we can just use this?

Why get them, when we have what they’ve done?

Why waste resources on the real thing; 

Human skill?

Does that really impress anyone?


What’s the difference?

Go on! 

Just sing the song!

Just pretend you’re not up there alone

You won’t know ‘til the  “band” skips—or stops altogether

The WiFi glitches, because of the weather

Their Bluetooth and yours, refuse to be tethered 

Look— just be prepared to sing Acapella 

In case you drop your phone.
