poetry

The Bean

early morn risers

unite, join hands

and cry

Opaque with hoary frost sublime

I hope

to unlock

the fearful

box of pandora

Collecting some scribblings

For Buddy Rich

Play on

play on

with blurred vision

of fiery sticks

beating

frenzied tattoo about

stretched skins

reverb

orating to masses

BEAT!
