The Bagpiper
He piped the music slow, careful.
Buzzing,
buzz, buzz, buzz
Not on my nose!
Don’t land…
Too late.
Freeze, Mr. Piper, or the nose gets it.
Sweatbeads: adrenalin: tremble.
Try a blow? Little up draught.
Macroscopia.
Make small big.
Blow responsibly.
Music is oozing from the nozzle,
mauve music magma.
Blow now!
Blew
Sting, recoil,
drop music funnel
notes splatter cake.
Eyes flood
Half blind.
Grab, miss, panic
cake on floor…
…nose throbs, cross eyes
purple lump.
Buzz gone, job done,
fact of life
