Under The Covers

There is something dumbly comfortable

with an adequate cover artist—

Singing along confidently—

without experimenting—

Doing nothing daring or risky—

doing us all a favour—

giving us something familiar—

We can all relate—

to being mediocre—

And we all love the cozy atmosphere

of no surprises—

Thank-you tip-jar artists!—

Your basic chords

are resounding unanimously—

With all of humanity—

Currently, unconscious

In this room,

                   Tonight—
