i still think it’s so interesting
that one of my absolute favorite genres
of music is 8-bit video-game music
[whether or not it’s remixed in some cool way]
even though i was not
at all
a gamer growing up
and even now
i
barely game
at all

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

Kip making music
on an OP-1
on top of a wooden table
with metal bars
supporting
running across to where i rest my foot,
and even through my thick bootie
i can feel the bass rumble through
into my bones

and i love it

hilarious
to me
that i recognized that one song
couldn’t place it
couldn’t place it
went to the internet
it almost didn’t help me
and then
like a light at the end of a
long, cold, dark tunnel
reddit user
simply stated
“Spooky Lake Tiktok”
and i am saved from
racking my brain about that
all damn day

[and i get to revel
in the spookiness]
