“Awooooo” howl my dogs
As fire sirens scream
I wonder what they hear
As I struggle out of my dream.
To me, it’s just a siren
A cacophonic stream
But the dogs are distressed
And continue the sound’s theme.
Violins somewhat mirror
A human’s vocal sound
I wonder what I hear
When the music is profound.
The minor key especially
In our hearts does resound
How does melancholy manage
To seize us and astound.
Do my dogs feel the intensity
Invoked by a minor key?
The disappointment in life
When we discover we are not free?
World weariness is biological
Ceaselessly encouraging insanity
Musical minors—opposite of sirens
Both reminiscent of life’s profanity.
