this piano
is always played
but slowly slowly
loosens pitch
drifting keys
flex a growing
dissonance
the pianists
do not hear
they are exercising
ever exercising
as the tone
declines
across the octades
we
we summonsed
we hear their
scratching clash
we see their schadenfreuderern
pillocks in the audience
mirthed
enough
i have hired
the sphinx’s amplifier
speakers the size of pyramids
the rasta dj
they’re on the way
