Sometimes I listen to Leonard Cohen going home
And try to decide by ear whether the lyric goes
"The brief elaboration of a tube" or "the brief
Elaboration of a tune." Does it matter much?
No, but it nicely balances on a consonant
Daydreams of culture and nightmares of biology
Or vicey versey. I am brief elaborations
Of a tune created by the sighing of the tubes.
Every day I waste time singing "I don't have much time."And try to decide by ear whether the lyric goes
"The brief elaboration of a tube" or "the brief
Elaboration of a tune." Does it matter much?
No, but it nicely balances on a consonant
Daydreams of culture and nightmares of biology
Or vicey versey. I am brief elaborations
Of a tune created by the sighing of the tubes.
It's not that my throat forms the vowels out loud. I think.
