Poetry plus Punk

Reading BiG TiK is reading poetry

Words running out on the smooth white page

Calm, insightful

I sit and read the open book

Sympathetic and reflecting

But bring on punk music and everything is changed

Lyric lines repeated become a primal howl

Hammering home grief, pleasure, love and loss

Insightful becomes inciting

Feelings overwhelm the mind

Think later, live today

E-C-S-T-A-S-Y
