Clapping on the Ones and Threes |
| In lines, swayed by rhythmic decree concerning the expired |
| Sewn ties, thread through homilies |
| Net worthy, past as sire |
| Designing a unison tune for pleasure, we misfired |
| The movement is still |
| Call your children out, hands held |
| Call, response |
| When the flock is small |
| Winning hearts is a straight and simple capture |
| None to boast |
| We sing along — nostalgia we shared |
| With the beats in common place, the chorus is «us» |
| Believe it all, the earworms ingrained |
| When the verses ended, a measure is all we shared |
| Something fell behind |
| And it startled choirs who don’t suffer surprise |
| With ears fatigued and tired |
| Belt out gasping highs |
| Off beat, flat, they died |
| No one feels right, and they’re all afraid |
| Blame it on a phrase |
| Blame it on their phrasing |
| Blame it on the changes resolving |
| A song in movements |
| Once you’re swept up, you’re in |
| The pounding refrain, it breaks and it falls |
| You recall that you’ve been here, alive with sound |
| And the notion feels right — the meaning is home |
| Splayed on the floor now, the tune is missed |
| When the verses ended, a measure is all we shared |
| It’s over. |
| I’m sorry. |
| All over. |
| We’re behind. |
| We’re out of time |
| In time, it fades in degrees, descending |
| But the choir… |
| Remind me of why we moved so quickly |
| We expired. |
| What now? |
| It’s all I’ve done |
