Poem

In January of this year,
Al Kapuler's paintings were hanging in Fireworks, these photos are a glimpse of that show.









Written (and thought up) April 20 (and 19th, 1030pm) 2010 1:30am after (and during) music at Fireworks Restaurant & Bar.
Always Monday nights usually Open Mic, tonight was a band from San Fransisco. Judgment Day...string metal!
These are my thoughts,

With each pluck of a cord
the vibration
the reverberation
of string to board.
creating a climax
climbing higher and higher like the tallest peak, not knowing when to stop.
And I just stand there with mouth agape, my nerves alight
cause I know it's amazing if all I can do is stand and stare.
My ears awake
my feet not sure what to do in this state.
The music digs in deeper still
No ringing now
just the remembrance of the skill.
