Default Desktop Symphony

There is music everywhere
music and tone
the desktop is a stage from where
reality is composed.

There is a symphony in the pen
and its scratches on the page
the ink glides on wings like mine
the desktop is my stage.

The orchestra is assembled, the conductor stands prepared
reference books are the rhythm section, the pages ruffle
and thus create the snare,
they are dropped to the side to create
a new movement with the bass.

The keys before me are the melody
The sing, and strum and bow across
The minor and major theme
The chords do change and the theme seems lost
In new and different variation
But the typewriter symphony keeps on track
And the conductor knows this composition.

With complete abandon my fingers leap
Their knowledge of this feeling deep
They keep the time
And direct the round
To silence in the balconies.

The room is quiet
And the audience leans in
Captivating by these tones
For by and large
New knowledge comes to the watchful tomes
In the gallery

Protected by the cup of pens
to the lee of a storm of coffee
The feeling of staccato expressions
Are braced by the legato lamentations
Of a notebook?s slowly turning leaves.

The symphony on the desktop
Reaches its finale
The keys are stamping hard, a crescendo for to bring
The conductor does hunch and sweat, his passion brimming up
Power surges from the gallery
Eager for the culmination
Of this opus or recitation.

The final key is struck
And silently the galleries explode
For through the variating and explaining
They see the theme was known.
Applause is heard through the ticking of the fan,
The conductor sits back to listen
His mind is free and then is clear
This symphony was needed.
His work is done and he leaves the stage
His eyes perceive a haze
For through the instruments at his disposal
He created something from the offal.

The encore comes
With the printer?s hum
And the coffee pot?s thrum
His senses they are a-burning
His symphony performed
Now the gallery applauds his encores
He has completed the desktop symphony.

There is music on the desktop
And there is passion in the notes
There is an orchestra in the materiel
And desire in the reference pages
A passionate rondo for to make
When a writer sits to conduct
At his desktop
A symphony he may make.
