Take Note

they said the score
was one to one
in the second
inning but

on stage
suddenly
i dropped
my baton

yet carried
on using my
middle finger
to bring out a

particular sound
especially from
the percussion
for once i was

one of them
but now the
woman with
the crash

cymbals
stands
for her
time

has come
after waiting
some twenty or
more minutes into

this symphony
after counting
from the very
beginning

wouldn't it be
sad if she
crashed
a half

beat
too
ear

What did you expect, the middle finger? Such as you, in our time, can only count on the Kingdom of heaven) J'aime.

I see nothing relegious here. If you give the middle finger to heaven, nothing happens. That's the Kingdom of it)
