Monsters and Music

Listening to music doesn’t help as much as it used to.

For a while, the rhythm would drown out the constant clanging and pounding.

But eventually, the discordant sounds become more noticeable.

And eventually more memorable.

So that I can’t tell what is music and what is simply a monster.

So that I can repeat my song, and they can howl along!
