he sings under his breath
the only half-line
that he knows
of that Beatles song
about being born
and undersea exploration
though what can you claim knowledge of
based solely on a fraction
of a verse soaked in acid?
Brando declined
his Godfather Oscar.
Salinger drank his own urine.
There are limits
to what we can understand.
Humming replaces the rest of the words
until we're impaled by the chorus.
Clear your throat.
