I went to Boulder Arts Outdoors<\/a>, a relatively recent summer festival in Boulder, Colorado. It started last year during the pandemic, and attendees had to watch from their cars. This year it was at the Bandshell in Boulder, making for a better viewing experience. There were six Thursday performances; I was only able to make two of them, but I’m glad I went. They were great shows, showcasing a variety of local talent and genres.<\/p>\n\n

During one of the shows, I wrote a bit of a stream of consciousness poem (which is not my usual style, e.g. Rhythm of Madness<\/a>. It probably only makes sense to me, and I’ll probably forget what it meant a year from now, but here it is: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Drum beats do I hear
\nMarching me to what?
\nEverywhere a rhythm
\nPounding me to dust.
\nBacks of heads
\nStare back at me
\nEach one asking
\nWhat I want to be.
\nBallet dancers take the stage
\nSomber lines direct my heart
\nTo ponder all the ways
\nLines begin, end, and hurt.
\nA clap I make to break the silence
\nBut then a hairstyle
\nShouts louder over text
\nNo more smiles, just hostile.
\nJoyous notes erupt
\nFrom the blue-tinted stage
\nBut can\u2019t completely drown
\nThe previous rage.
\nNear term questions
\nMeaning of life
\nSong and dance
\nEveryday the same
\nBut still no answers
\nOr maybe I don\u2019t have rhythm.
\nThe drum beats but I have no groove.
\nJust keep moving.
\nDon\u2019t think.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
