No Analog Nor Precedent

A craft question I sometimes wonder “could it be vague is a virtue?”
Let people hear what they hear, let people take what they want to
Or is the magic in specifics? are fine details what leave a mark?
Is it time, place, event, and people, the linking adverbs equal art?

There’s a rumor I’ve read about Talk Talk’s ‘It’s My Life’
That it’s sung from the vantage of a loving family pet
The notion turned me on my head, made music not the same
From a thing I enjoyed at distance, to one that makes my eyes wet

Oh Christ, Christ it’s that time again
Oh Christ its that time again
To feel and let new ideas in

Tactile sensation, shag carpet kisses cheek
My drool moistened face, my stiff legs are asleep
I don’t want to move I don’t think I’ll move
I get it now
