writing a poem on the back of gift wrapping

in the motionless rattle of our days
events appear like music

disappear like music like
birthday wrapping paper

simple presents choke attention deficit
distraction sends mixed messages

the descended ether blinding voices
fog suffocating the fractured universe

fearless appeals for ears
sideshot glances and dusty humor

like a speaker on a shelf
buzzing a tune on repeat
