Tone Deaf

tone deaf &
hoping for a break
s/he lifts up their glass &
after dedicating this song s/he’s about to sing
to said celebrated person of the
evening,
s/he belts into a rendition of
something that won’t be recognized 
for another 5 years of
round the clock 
study @
the Center for Neuroacoustic Research.
