Day 418: The Song That Goes On
∴
i was trying to learn a new song
and my teacher said,
“it’s just like in life,
you know,
if you lose your place,
you just have to
do your best
to catch up.*”
there’s no sense
in playing the same wrong note
over
and over
and the song does go on
whether you join it or not.
better to sing a contribution
of sustained substance
than to echo mute dissonance
in the discordant tritones
of regret.
