Mic Technique by Owen Townend (An Open Mic Riff Poem 1)

 

Mic Technique

 

You can hear me at the back, can't you?

I'm allergic to pop filters.

Metal or sock

they bring me out in

rash decisions.

 

You'll forgive me if I sound faint.

I prefer it a metre to the side.

It's better for my stance

which projects confidence

while my voice doesn't.

 

It could be worse.

My verse at the start

was supersonic

and I ran a mile

as soon as my mouth ran dry.

 

Now I share

at a more measured pace

but I still won't have that microphone

near my face.
