are like pianos colliding
with shaking splintering frames
and wires that bend and snap
striking chords
that ring through the air
with some of the weight of beauty
and click and slide together
our careful ivory keys
sliding together
grinding and grating
and edging together against each other
with my smoothness on yours
and then
all these notes erupting in discord
like shredded edges of sound
exploding in twanging wires
and then
we are nothing but a stack of shattered firewood
with tightly wrapped brass
that coils and snaps
and melts slowly
into broken coils
that are dull and ugly
like the edges of you and me
the last stages of a collision

reminds me of 'enemies and lovers' for sum reason. yet it is different at the same time. Choop
What chain of events causes two pianos to collide tho? lol. evokes sum hilarious mind pictures.
hah we were doing this talent show thing
and this guy accidentally slid the bench into the piano and i was thinking about what noise two pianos together would make .... and voila.
sounds like enemies and loverS? hmm ill go reread and think...
you misspelled 'frames.'
but otherwise- i liked it. pianos colliding is a great mental picture. kudos to you.
fixed. and thanks.
question. where did 'kudos' come from?
love the vivid imagery. reminds me of a stylistic music video. to me, i see the collision happen in mid air and time is super slowed down and the image and sounds are strange and wonderful all at once.
only the piano can create that effect.
cheers!
