The drum line kicked off the show
and I wondered
Why don't all shows
Start like this
The big bass drums in the back
Swinging, being swung
by girls with shoulders
that were up to it
pounding out the heart beat
The snares in the front
polyrhythm tapped out on the rims
in between the tenor drums
bring color
all eyes on the conductor
as he leads the thunder
a storm for dancing
meticulously organized chaos
energy saddled
and ridden
