fast enough for harmony
the oven timer has found a new voice
it's mixed in with the old
fast enough for a new frequency
the oven timer has an undertone now
it's dropping in and out it's
fast enough for tension
the oven timer has found a new voice
a new mix of frustration
enough for the reliable three minutes fast
the oven timer is tired of it all, maybe,
of timing my tea
fast enough the oven timer
would love a lasagne or even just pasta, all those
i simply play by ear
it's always just tea
