Country Music

When waking from the seizure all I heard
was country music, those guitar twangs played
again and then again. They kept on, stayed
inside my head, wore grooves. I wished for bird-

song, not those tunes of trucks and broken love.
I’ve never been a country fan, but round
and round the songs went, and their wrenching sound
soon lulled me, strangely fit me like a glove.

(I don’t know where this poem came from!)

  1. Do you ever know where a poem or a song comes from? I suppose everyone is like that, but I have a feeling we have a special track to some kind of mysterious zapping in our brains that makes these things happen!
