lyrics

DON’T SEE ME

JANET
Its so ticky tacky
The keyboards clacking
The 60 hertz hum of the humdrum
drone
I’m all alone in a cubicle
contraption
A node in a net reeling me in
Is it a sin to seek salvation
In the smallest words sung to
the air?
Cause there’s more to me than all
of them
So much more to feel
But they don’t see me
No they don’t see me
The screen is a dream distorted
Data desire deferred
I realize and I fantasize
About finding my voice in a storm
Not captured on disc
Not hotlinked or twittered
But screaming raw in the howling
wind
Its not a sin to seek salvation
In the loudest words sung to the air
A heart so large
Cause there’s more to me than all
of them
So much more to feel
But they don’t see me
No they don’t see me

[The next performer is the dreadheaded
Antimony, just back from
the Amazon. There is a peacock
feather in her fedora.]
