Reverse Whistler

Others fill their cheeks
with songs, and scatter them like
pips, while I suck mine in, and keep them
until the next breath.  My cheeks don’t
get so Dizzy on a tune, they are
almost Ornette, furious and a little
off key.  A few bars more and I’m fashionably
macabre.  Though not morbid yet.
