Song

the novel within the duration of a song
the hurried prose about how

a country was turned into province.

a novel the length of a song
the experience only spoken with abbreviated slang
about how

a language is now a dialect

turned,
the plane is now a ship floating above the sea of clouds.
(I turned to page six and the writer is still stuck,
writing about how his eternal novel shall begin.)

a novel written according to the length of this song
this novel could be read within its duration
or listened
with repeated inattentiveness
