the band next door
were playing
not quite 4 to the floor
& we
were playing faster by the minute
not having a drummer
me on the bass not keeping score
they were riffing thru’ Hawkwind numbers
without the speed the brio
far worse the necessary feelings
& us?
we no longer liked each other much
had worn thru’ the goodwill
could pick holes in instrumentation
the picking fingering
the groove
now all we were
were bores to each other
but at least
we weren’t the band
next door
♥️
