The mission takes the stand without support.
A diary lies open by the plan
that promised something larger than 1 man.
The chorus calls the change a theft of trust;
the bass insists its anger must be just.
A question waits beneath the shouted names:
who gets the future that the promise claims?

the fan beside somebody’s garden gnomes.

An angry song objects to what they mean:
the armor, casting, language, every choice
that puts a newer face on an old voice.
It wants another voyage, frame by frame.
The sea keeps moving underneath the blame.

of bass. A joke comes back across the floor
and finds the mouth that sent it out before.

We’ve had the lights. We’ve had the louder part.
Our clever little ending waits to start.

Across the room, a hand goes up.

We move the stand.

unfolds a page.

The drummer lowers both his sticks.
