Out of Step
There was
trick we used in marching band
to get back
in step.
It took some
practice, especially if
We were
playing a tune at the time.
Far harder
is finding the footwork
to get back
in step with you,
difficulty
magnified by rarity
discomfort
multiplied by contrast
to our
normal synchronicity,
despite
agreeing that agreement isn’t constant
different
drummers are playing for us.
