ode to the Beats
*** *** ba dum dump da dum *** ba dum dum
/\ /\ /\
[snap] [snap] [snap]
*** *** ba dum dump da dum *** ba dum dum
/\ /\ /\
[snap] [snap] [snap]
Sitting at the window staring at sliding rain
I mentally slip on the proverbial banana peel
*** *** ba dum dump da dum *** ba dum dum
/\ /\ /\
[snap] [snap] [snap]
Floating deeper into consciousness’s backwater
I ponder the reflection of a mirror in the lake
*** *** ba dum dump da dum *** ba dum dum
/\ /\ /\
[snap] [snap] [snap]
Looking down at shoeless feet fraught with fear
I turn to run, only to find cell bars, box cars, sticky jars, and the planet
Mars
*** *** ba dum dump da dum *** ba dum dum
/\ /\ /\
[snap] [snap] [snap]
Momentarily, my movement meanders making me
a microcosm of mankind’s malady…another Monday morning
*** *** ba dum dump da dum *** ba dum dum
/\ /\ /\
[snap] [snap] [snap]
*** *** ba dum dump da dum *** ba dum dum
/\ /\ /\
[snap] [snap] [snap]
