The Boom Boom Boom
I feel the bass
############EXPLODING
through my body
###############with the boom
#########boom
###############boom.
As the electric guitar
##################SCREAMS
#######over the notes
of the opening song.
The music SMELLS
#####like an alleyway
in San Francisco
####where you get a BUZZ
########just by passing by.
The people stand
#####in lines
############waiting
at the venue
and the music
#############SPILLS
#################outside
into the streets.
So
#####singular
and beautiful
############the notes
#####as they CASCADE
###############down.
Bouncing
#########off the buildings
with the bass
############EXPLODING
########with the boom
##boom
########boom.

Often we associate music with the first place we heard it and we recall those senses ever after.

Ah, I have experienced this as well. The music is overwhelming, and that is all that exists for a time….. There is something to be said, isn’t there, for this kind of escape!!

Thank you, Sherry! You never got back to my email asking for Mary’s email so I can send her some of my photos. As you probably noticed I haven’t been writing for a few weeks. Got caught up in bike riding and other things but I’m coming back.
