Benighted

Kurt Philip Behm

 The chosen

tone deaf

to their fortune

 

Musicians

their heads

in the sand

 

The roadies

eat pizza

still frozen

 

While Angels

play bass

in the band

 

Indulgence

the pick

on their fretboard

 

Entranced

by the lure

of the bong

 

Benighted

the riffs

play without them

 

Not going

or coming

— just gone

    An intriguing poem with some great images. I can almost smell that pizza. And the last line just nailed it.

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    Thanks Tom, very kind of you. As a lover of cold pizza,
    I'm headed for the kitchen.

    🙂
