a rollercoaster
METAPHOR
or
ASTROWORLD
had
the Texas Cyclone
it was an old Coney Island wood rollercoaster
ya sit in the
FRONT
or
ya sit in the
BACK
BOTH
they were good in different ways
in the front you SEE EVERYTHING
it is tight maybe compressed
it is FOCUSED
in the BACK
you are lifting up out of your
SEAT
you are
HOLDING ON
the physical experience is
in some ways
MORE INTENSE
because you don't really know what is coming
and the experience of the march
doesn't MAP
the the rollercoaster
the concept of the front & the back being completely different experiences
is all I'm trying to get at
TODAY
I didn't MEAN to be
at the FRONT
I enjoyed the last march with the tuba & sax
walking to music is
BETTER
the front was a crowded experience
they had a truck with people with
megaphones
people got excited when
the chant was
F*CK t*ump
or
F*CK ICE
all the many chants about other things
LESS excited
there were some organized groups
BUT MOSTLY
it was little clumps of
TWO & THREE
with their OWN concerns
it felt like THAT
BEFORE
the clumps of two or three
spread out
this is
pressed together
I can tell I'm not managing to convey
& I need to go to sleep

TOMORROW
I LOVE you VERY much sweetheart
goodnight
