Grex Writing Item 85: The drummer and the drum.
Entered by jkrauss on Wed Aug 17 23:37:25 UTC 1994:

Boiling over through the manholes, it's
Rushing up from a subway tunnel. We are
Zooming over a sea of asphalt, and the
Rhythm of the city never ends.

All the world's a drum,
Beat!
Beat!
Come drum with me,
Beat!
Beat!

I can drum the glow from the streetlight; can you?
I can knock the red from a stop sign; watch me.
I can sing the contour of the cold city night,
A duet with wind and snow whistling past my window.

All the world's a drum,
Beat!
Beat!
Come drum with me,
Beat!
Beat!

I will follow, I will drum,
I will echo, I will come,
I will feel the rhythm of the street.
Beat!

Jet contrails across the sky,
City streets that will not die,
The world's a drum, I won't admit defeat.
Beat!
