The band aid slid off
easily in the shower
As a younger man
he would just rip them off
but he was older now....wiser.
He wiped the condensation
off of the mirror and saw
his father's face. He brushed
his teeth and growled madly
like a rabid dog. He rinsed
with mouthwash to Metallica "One"
(the sextuplet bass drum section)
spit, smiled then shut off the light.
His silver suitcase was spilled
open on the bed. He got dressed
and grabbed his sticks and room key.
Electric energy was everywhere.
Cicadas were screaming as
he walked into the night.
