I love the entire poem, Andrea, but am awed by the lines above. xox

…vaged chords
torn by forced speech
subject to my grinding output
battered by a hailstorm of thought
they didn’t choose their song
conscripted to carry a wry humor
a pithy bark and hoarse observations
scratchy as an old summer day
abused as a dog-eared book.
