When You Don’t Know the Pop References
By Akhila Kumaran
I have nodded along through my life.
Not knowing the language. The syntax. The punctuation.
Made me scared that if I asked
I would be stared at.
Which is worse than being laughed at.
Not knowing the language has been the theme of life
Thank god I have a good head on my shoulders.
I nod along.
Pop has been the bane of my existence
I cannot sing I do not get the music
I only nod along
I cannot carry the tune in my head
I only I know I don’t know
Thank god I have a good head on my shoulders. And no crick on my neck. I nod along.
