c
brood
by Halifax

teen heartthrobs

cicadas seem serious this year
wailing upon an earshot audience
a song so simple it’s understood

incessant gyrating decibels raise
a chorus of circular statements
that cut no corners in delivery

these musical geniuses have it down
each summer the band arrives late
jams out encores of a one chord set
and the girls just can’t get enough

    You nailed it. Fun photo. Wish it were like that for us male artists.
