Rock Steady

He played a rock steady beat, That rumbled as a train on its tracks. The echoes rebellious stark. Moving the nicotine in the chest. Siphoning joy from the very air. Distilling it down to a sound. He played a rock steady beat, The snare rasping like sand on grass. Hip swaying and ecstasy led. A blur of microphone humming. Distorted and redacted down. Making sense only to the senses. He played a rock steady beat. When summer heat promises darkness. Sweat crawling spider like. Unable to think through the noise. A dream of bass note vibrations. And white lightening feedback.
