Can You Tell a Story in 84?

***

Joe adjusted headphones watching his wife dance the conga with friends they made on this tour. The bus was not a luxury, but adequate for the price. A shark in the tourism industry was plentiful, but Joe waggled costs down to something affordable. The “soundtrack” playing in his ears was the baseball game he was missing. After four years of sitting in a noisy seat, Joe threw in the towel. The seats were expensive, behind the umpire, but his wife and this tour replaced them.

  1. Meditation
    Make no fuss
    Sit with me
    Inside this bus
    Tiptoe-Tiptoe
    Doing fine
    Progress
    In the conga line
    Hours passing
    Twenty-four
    No fight, no right
    To ask for more
    Such is life. For you and me
    No expecting luxury
    Try to sleep
    But not to dream
    Fight the current
    Swim upstream
    Away from sharks
    And all your fears
    Tissues, towels
    To dry your tears
    Ending soon, this imposition
    Umpire makes the last decision
    Sad existence. Man and wife
    This – the soundtrack of our life
