Queer Music
They lived across from each other
on and off the center floor dorm hall,
both on the much discussed
controversial LeftWing side.
Yang perused Yin's CDs,
"I see you like that ***** music,
Elton John
and Luther VanDross
and George Michael.
I didn't notice that before."
Yin responds quietly
calmly
amused:
First,
I don't believe music is gay or straight,
but most everything wave-linear co-related in-between
harmonic and dissonant,
diminished and replenished.
Lyrics may be wavey *****
or straight-line predictable
but usually flow well
either spiraling way
telling co-relating creation stories
of nature's neural positives
and negatives
surfing back and forth
in and out
before and after
here and there
now and then
and yet to climax
polypathic health
as polyphonic wealth.
But, Second,
Feels to me all music,
maybe all muses,
are *****
when I think holistically about it,
us,
them,
verbally thought and non-verbally felt,
internally touched
By a rhetorical moment
we curiously know as music
without noticing how radically unlikely
regenerative processes
compassionate evolutions
could ever reproduce such homo-ingenious sounds,
rhythms,
patterns,
colors,
textures,
stories,
epic original empathic creations
and co-empathic octaved recreations
within such a LeftBrain heterosexual white privileged
RightWing capitalistic
narcissistically greedy
UnQueer Line Marching Against
the Great Historic/Futuristic muse and prophets
of unboxable harmony,
despite dissonance,
resonance,
despite fading resilience of Baby Xers,
polyphonic yin-mused light,
despite polynomial not not
climate of touch and feel
polyphonic dualdarkness.
Meanwhile Yang
couldn't hear too well
since opening the window
facing spring
listening
to a cranked up RocketMan,
while athletically dancing to hot not unqueer music,
and Yin's ears swayed tenderly after and before
***** musing
straight talk.
