vast occurrence

running sound for
pukearist
mute output
contribution to
the eons
here's the location
of sound check
surprising number
of metal candelabras
band's drummer
quit just before
the gig so they play
along to pre-recorded
tracks
not very metal
I think they're called
audience
           clap louder
when they fuck up

faux stone walls
hanging ceramic
billiard lamps
what's the purpose
of an overstimulating
context? I sang
are you lonesome
tonight here once
when it was a
gay bar
              there was
a stage halfway
into the room
that's not there
anymore
               jack says
the iphone sounds
better than any real
drummer he's heard here
iphone-core he calls it
I wish I was as funny
as jack
