Background Music

It’s never silent in our home;

The music’s always on,

Most often from the radio,

Tuned in ‘til dusk, from dawn.

 

The desktop also pitches in

For jazz or swing or blues

And there’s another radio

That’s only set to news.

 

The street noise filters in as well,

But I can tune it out,

Unless it’s something extra loud,

Which happens, there’s no doubt.

 

Yet mostly I enjoy the sounds

Musicians strum or blow

Or pluck or tap or sing, through which

Good spirits seem to flow.
