Transformation
Luca Puglisi
When I was an acoustic guitar
I got bored of sitting around
every day
smashed into walls
in my dark guitar case.
I loved when he'd jam with me,
but was always afraid of new strings
when dad put them in.
so I became a fender
I was the best
Long, white, and signed
in the special case next to his bed
so he could play all night long
he played the best songs on me
Iron man, Tnt, Eleanor Rigby,
but he left for Paul
so I became les paul
I was so very proud
in all the best shops,
and in his heart
Dark black and with no cracks
For all to love
Until he dropped me
Now I am ignored
so I became a pick
I made a great sound
for everyone to admire and share
and make many sounds, riffs, and strums
there are many like me
but I am special
with great shine
but he left me for another
so I became an amplifier
Making loud noise and they love it
all the time
styles of Jimi Hendrix
with woos and wows
so loud blasting head off,
and making the guitar sound great
annoying many and yelled at
so I became an acoustic guitar
I am now again acoustic
with a new player
jammin with him
all the time
Everyone thinks I’m not as good
but to him I’m the best
I am never going to change
Forever
It would seem that Luca is the one in the family who is the artist.
ReplyDeleteWith the pain of the role.
And the ability to translate the disharmonies.
small shoulders, big mind.
As I once said, my son was the best thing that ever happened to me.
A very nice poem.:)
