Please Use Your Earphones

"You don't understand," I said. "These words are tools which I use
To craft the pretty things I make. It hurts to hear them handled
Badly. Your god-awful tapes of novels, overripe, much too
Descriptive, lame in cadence, wholly wrong, affect me as would
Watching someone's infant use a jeweler's hammer to lay waste
To brilliant gems or polished bands of gold."
