Drummer

March if you would.

I prefer to walk.

Along gridlines and oil cloths.

Monuments to daybreak

Labyrinth places

Circular and all consuming.

"Tat Tat - Tat Tat Tat".

With a double four beat.

Pounding in the ears.

Life is a challenge.

A call to pickup sticks.

Still the drumming goes:

Where you dictate.

Hold dear.

And believe.

Fear not -

You are not the first to move to the beat of a different drummer.

And you won't be the last.
