Singing Practice. Poem! Yeah!

Singing Practice

Reaching into the recesses
Of the wardrobe where
The box is hidden
From nosy eyes.
Digging through the box
Of bric-a-brac and knick-knacks,
Letters and photographs:
Memories kept for keep sake?s sake.
Six cassette tapes found:
Maxell/TDK - Low Noise of
Handel, Gershwin, Lloyd-Webber.
Trying to remember
How these players work and
Which way round the tape goes.
Press play and wait.
?Click click, buzz buzz,
Crackle, crackle.?
A faceless voice announces
The name of the tune being played.
Fatigued piano notes: a cue.
Take a deep breath but then
I forget the words.

    :) There is no particular part of the poem that stands out for me, but I like the overall effect.
