Swaying Fish

People flock in like birds to a feeder
Some disappointed by distant seats
The lights diffuse; eyes dilate and focus as shadows materialize on stage
Shouting
Cheering
Whistling 
Sheer ear rattling sounds stir your blood, urging withdrawn screams to bubble forth
The music starts the beat catches your foot than your legs
Your become another fish in the swollen sea of swaying people
But just as soon as it started it's over
You solemnly retrace your tracks on the journey home
Tedious buzzing lingers in your ear drum and is left as the faint whisper of music dissipates
