glimmers of sunshine
escaping the early clouds
migrating swifts

Radio Four
lamenting the decline of music
in the school curriculum.
All we got were recorder lessons
(and we had to get our moms to buy them)
and a teacher who wasn't trained
and just knew a little bit.
Not enough to inspire the class
but enough to hate the discordant sounds.
Is it any wonder my dream of being a rock star
died on the altar of misinstruction.
