Where Are the Cymbals

Violin music wafts in, so clear and pretty.
A dreamy cloudlike feeling.
Indescribable.

A lively flute perks things up.
She feels like dancing. 
Angelic.

Where is the saxophone?
I hear it instantly.
Jazz!

The drums? The cymbals?
I am smiling now.
Bam. 

Alarm clock goes off.

I have always wanted to play the drums BECAUSE of the cymbals.
