What Is Music
What Is Music used to sit at the middle of the bar
of the villagejuicer
and What Is Music was not always monikered
What Is Music
for what occurred
was this one day:
he sat at the middle of the bar of the villagejuicer
and the barkeep played a certain kind of pop
on the stereo system and What Is Music said,
‘what the hell is this music?’
the barkeep heard it all before from him. the barkeep smiled. he walked off down along the bar polishing a pint glass which on it showed embossed letters that spelt PARKWAY BREWS
and a wag sat at the farend of the bar and the wag said,
‘what is music?’
‘eh?’
‘what is music?’
‘you are asking me what is music?’
‘yes.’
‘okay.’
he thought about it. he said,
‘it’s like when you think about something and then you don’t.’
the wag said,
‘ah.’
the wag said.
‘profound.’
the wag said,
‘be a good nickname that. What Is Music.’
he thought about it. he nodded. thought some more. nodded again.
What Is Music said,
‘“What Is Music”, it is.’
from the farcorner of the bar the wag said,
‘fancy a pint, What Is Music?’
the barkeep said,
‘no, my shout, i’ll get What Is Music this.’
What Is Music said,
‘thanks very much.’
What Is Music said,
‘you want profound, What Is Music will give you profound: the police, how about police? - they need to know the law so they know when it’s being broken, so i ask you are they lawyers too? what is the difference between police and lawyers?’
