Guitar


As I continue to participate as best I can in the great National Poetry Month poem-a-day roundup (cue the theme song from the ancient TV series, Rawhide), I've decided to post a guitar-poem, of sorts--meaning it is sort of a poem that's sort of about guitars.

All Guitars

Do you ever wonder how many people
worldwide are strumming a guitar at
the exact same instant, such as now?
Me, neither--well, except for this
one time. What if we could hear
*
this simultaneous strumming's
combined sound? It would be
like a guitar-hurricane hitting
the coast of our listening. We'd
have to got to a shelter
*
while the guitar-storm roared
overhead. How many strummers
strum at once? Estimating this number
creates a complex chord in the head,
a gnot of notes compelled to get along.
