the digital dubstep music
emanating out of our speakers
has nothing on the
analog version
made from a tuba
live in front of us
while a hella talented juggler
does crazy juggle-y things
with clubs
that we barely see
because we
are far too enthralled with that
xylophone playing
tuba-ist
making the greatest
“BWAAaaaah”
we’ve ever heard or seen
at each drop
shaking the floors
skipping our heartbeats

we don’t know how to describe that experience
except that
we now only ever want to listen to
live
tuba
dubstep
beats

cleaning up the house
means
cleaning out the cobwebs in my emotions
means
cleaning for the first time
in a long time
means
organization
[which i love]
means
getting things out
to put them back again
means
maybe
maybe
maybe
getting rid of some things

[and that’s the most terrifying
concept and
consequence of all]

make your words like waves
gather them together
and wait
and hold
back
until they start to free-flow
into the next
unsuspecting
person
a line a line a line at a time
pull them under
take them back
with you

until you
spit them back out
at a later date
