134/365

we played music
tonight,
rock and roll.
complying with the laws,
keeping everyone safe.
bass. drums. guitars. me.
not sure how to be the front man,
when everyone is finally staring at me,
jump around. bang the tambourine.
stare off into the lights.
belt out the chorus.
ignore the looks.
don’t make eye contact.
make eye contact,
you’ve seen how it’s done
your whole life,
grab that microphone
and let out everything
that’s inside you.
we played music
tonight,
rock and roll.
