The Old Punk's Drumset and Heart Repair Manual

He said:

Reverberations
of kick bass
stress the kit

and if you don’t tighten
the right screws
it falls apart.

My bass drum syncopates
with electricity underground
and under my ribs.

Abnormal sinus rhythm
and my whole kit
just flops.

The mechanism hangs limp.
See, it’s all coil and tension
until it isn’t.
