i can't get no ...

How do you write a song?
Does it sing itself to you?
Does it whisper itself into existence?
And, really, what does come first:
Music? Or words?
Or do they come together,
like morning’s first light with
the freshness of the new day?
And why can she write
a
song?
And him not?
Has a god somehow consecrated one and not
the other?
It is said that Keith Richards birthed the hook
to “Satisfaction” while on a flight
from somewhere to somewhere else.
God’s messenger.
Interesting choice.
