The Mixed Tape

The Mixed Tape

Listening listlessly
Fingers flying to the piano
Chords sounding through a bass guitar
Getting older; still the same

Seconds into ...
The song slowly stops
Crying softly
Among the quietness

Boom, the beautiful beat
Of a big band drum
Parading through the street
Marching... 1 , 2, 3

Clap, shake, snap
Some fast parts, then some slow
Whispering and shouting
Rings, bling, and things

Fast forward
Tilting their head toward the player
Humming along to the bounces and beats
The room heating up intensely

Ping, a nail delicately
Lifts a string
The fragile pieces
Making sweet sounds

Zam, shabazz
The zesty sax
Forming a melody
Heart within the music

Clash, clang, dang
Electricity empowering
A once dead-beat guitar
Screaming and shouting

Click, it's over
We've run out of time
Seems nothing is left
Except the other side
