alcoholic orchestra
inhale
and
walk into a bar
tap the counter
order the pina colada
finger the glass’s rim
bottoms up
and
ride the eighth into the half
as the leader bangs the stick
and the crowd goes wild
watch the face of every good boy come to life
heavy breaths in between
the groups of sixteens that are thrown at the men
and the ladies in red fade away, screaming
fermata
take the change and grab the keys
note the time, its antiquated tick leaves
an elegant signature in a brazen environment
out the door you go
sit in your car, and
rest
look up and start the solo-ridin’
don’t look back as multiple crashes lead to a
bang
silence for a moment
and
exhale
