Guitars, Guitars
strings ring, buzz & sing
arthritic rhythm Guitars
tinny tin strings
on the side of the microphone
electricity swims
tap tapping on the bridge
loose shoed
breathing volume
running up on the fretboard
with jabby hot chords
and the palm of the hand
on the hi-hat’s beating
bleeding into the organ
humming with the melody line
rising always rising
crashing fuzz in reverb
playing the poured concrete
amped up in the corner
alone

squeezebox wheezing
at the honky tonk
with domestic beers
juke joints with blazers
rhythm and bluegrass
and spin yer gal around
and rock'er back and
forth a bit
while that band just goes to town.

The bolero is life.
I agreed, but until today
I haven't dared write it."
