continuum

Lee rarely came up short

plays drums with high school jazz band
not short for damn sure
in any way then,
(now 6-2)...........
and


this morning
I'm listening to Buddy Rich's
Mercy Mercy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDhKty0gz6Q
and hear Lee's drums
temporarily in storage


behind all the stuff
in front of them, they
in their zipped-up black carry cases
in the darkness........
I hear the wires on his snare
vibrate
