[the Writing of Kuypers]
I feel like I’m a record now
you know how vinyl goes
Well, I feel like I am that record now
And people can choose to read the book
And sometimes that excites me
Because I wonder if people who listen know too little
[JanetKuypers.com][Bio][Poems][Prose]
I’m a Record now
That there is a ridge, trailed in circles
That groove that the needle can easily slip into
And the needle of life is in me
And it is playing my story
And I am stuck on this record player
At this certain speed
And I can’t get the needle out of the groove
And my life is being played out for me
For everyone to hear
And see
And live
And they don’t feel a God-damned thing
But they claim to know how I feel
But that needle is stuck there
And the R P M has been set on the player
And now my life is an open book
And now my life is a playing record
And people can choose to listen to the music
Sometimes that fascinates me
And sometimes that scares me
Or too much
