Orbital, Aphex Twin and Squarepusher.

He deals with problems
the same way he deals with the leaking tap in the bathroom
just puts on his music until he can't hear
the drip, drip, drip.

Pretending problems do not exist
is only useful up to a point
but he's got enough music on his computer
for this shuffle to last generations.

He blocks out and problem that isn't solved as easily
as downloading Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada,
thinking 'I like that song,'
and suddenly it's there
bouncing off his walls.

'I need to book that dentists appointment,' he thinks
every time he brushes his teeth
but as soon as he swirls and spits he goes back to his room
puts his headphones back on
and the tap keeps dripping.
