did you ever have
a song
that was stuck
in your head?
you started out
loving it
but by the end
of the day,
hearing the chorus
for the ten-thousandth time,
hated it
and couldn't
make it go away
no matter what?

so you turned out
the lights,
went up to bed,
put a pillow under
and over
your head,
and realized that even
deaf ears
couldn't quiet
the music
in
your
head?
