The Horror Paul Taylor www.trombonepoetry.com |
THE HORROR It's happening again! I leap from the keyboard and dash through the house bursting into the kitchen to lunge at the radio left innocently intoning symphonic sarcasms by Shostakovich or clutches of improvisers in steel-scraping experiment these pose no problem leave hackles unraised stick no needles into the buttocks of armchair appreciation even the mating screech of the 4-in-the-morning fox or the proverbial fire in a pet-shop pale into easy listening compared with what can I compare it with? those sculptors of steak and steroid multi-muscle maniac body-builders the calorific counterpart in unnatural monstering to this ear-shredding shriek this beefed-up bawling of mangled language as I dive for the off-switch and stand there shuddering with sopranophobia.
