You, bastard!

The man bent over his guitar,
A shearsman of sorts. The day was green.

They said, ‘You have a blue guitar,
You cannot play things as they are.’

The man replied, ‘Things as they are
Are changed upon the blue guitar.’

And they said then, ‘But play, you must,
A tune beyond us, yet ourselves,
A tune upon the blue guitar
Of things exactly as they are.’

The Blue Guitar
Wallace Stevens

If you repeat this over and aloud and hear yourself in the crack, you will.
If not, Stevie’s Vintage Lingerie is quite uplifting.
