Box

I’m pulled in by muted horns and ecstatic neon

A smooth old bar patrolled by rough old men

Blue smoke and earthy piano just past the door

The brass screams, greedy for attention

The sax growls low anger

The beat pushes me deep into a chair

Crawls slow up my spine

And settles with envy at the base of my neck

I never could turn air to song

Get up says my brain, you need a new drink

But the band won’t let go

I turn to a hazy eyed patron

Hey man what club is this?

This? You’re in the Pithos, and that’s Pandora up on stage
