Maybe your earworms don't wear masks but mine are sneaky fuckers, ofter with hidden identities.  Big Grin But I get what you're saying about jumbled metaphors. Is it my fault the past is such an asshole and a sloppy poet to boot? (um, yes, I guess it is)

And sometimes, not often, I'd like to slap the past silly, but I hear you, gonna take the poem and reshuffle with your comments in mind, see what happens.

Really appreciate the read, thought and crit !!!!
Oh it's just my opinion. I have often been wrong, especially about earworms. lol ; )
Never hurts to try an edit, the play’s the thing, thanks for something to think about.
Speaking of the play. I will say I don't hate the idea of a masked earworm. Since we're dressing up the past, and its earworm of a hum also has an acting role, there's no reason it (the earworm) shouldn't swing by the dressing room on the way to the stage and throw on a mask.

The undercurrent is really the main thing throwing off the metaphor there.
