Northside highrise APTs. Stick up like rack toms. Lights flick off and on. Lights flick off and on. Looks like Denver skyline. All this glass.

The most widespread, sacred, ritually significant musical instrument. Wrap it in skin. Beat it with a stick. That’s a phallic instrument.
Ode to drum. Oh to drum.
Glass dome drum. Crash to ride income for the N. Side peddlers. Skyline flicks embers. Dhabi domes shine just like Denver.
Mr. Shelldrake I never meant to come on so strong. You rode my elevator and now I’m signing your song. Your silver cold hardware has left indentions on my arm. Your double kick pattern has done me harm.
