kapellmeister

I don't know
how to make
the music go
I look at the page
and the players
and wave my wand about
and hope that magic happens
i am a broken clockwork kapellmeister
of a puppet orchestra
strings unplayed but pulled by unseen hands
serenaded by the organ grinder's monkey
smashing cymbals at random
and thinking it's a symphony
on an empty and disintegrating boardwalk
by the seaside on a snowy day
