Millennial

I am a rubber duck

Floating down a river,

With a hidden talent.

I can sing.

Rubber ducks can’t sing.

Well, others can’t,

But, I can.

The thing is I can’t speak,

So I can’t tell anyone,

And it’s driving me crazy.

I found out I could sing

By accident.

I was floating,

In peaceful, monotonic, silent

Surrender

Down a river,

When some beautiful stranger

Stepped on me.

His workman’s boots

Ground me into the river,

My rubber head collided with

Callous rocks.

They were

Sharp,

So sharp

I sang

In a beautiful voice

So loud it cut through the water

And everyone heard me

Just once

And that was enough.
