No Can Do
by @rdlinder
Liner Notes
I imagined a game, then imagined this song about it
Lyrics
The slightest touch can prove too much
The tile moves a fraction
The greatest cost would be a loss
By the other side’s inaction
The ancient art of No Can Do
Is all about inertia
Equal and opposing force
A minimum of pushing
It can apply to physical things
But the application’s wider
It starts with the way one sings
Then something comes from inside you
A simple note
Within the throat
Just like the Tuvan chanter
The counterpoint
Starts to disjoint
The other singer’s banter
It’s out of phase
And out of place
The melody is canceled
The silence roars
Within our ears
As alternates are handled
The ancient art of No Can Do
Is popular in Asia
Origins in Kathmandu
In sound it's like aphrasia
