pray tell.

Ah, the background music

is so important

the composers

told stories with the music

so the audience could

follow what was happening

on stage

minor chords and notes

for the sad parts

and crescendo for

an impending

"uh oh" moment

so that the audience

gets prepared

and then

while they're tightly

gripping their seats

everything de-escalates

and the major chords

come skipping in like

little rays of sunshine

to save the day

with flowery optimism

for a happy ending

so everybody can relax

I wonder what

my background music

would be?

I have a feeling

that some of the themes

would overlap

and the audience

would spend a lot of time

gripping their seats

unexpectedly

partly because sometimes

minor notes and chords

get thrown

into the mix

without warning.

my bad.
