...no not any drum, most any drum, can be used for talking and for not talking. One drum giving the pulse and one drum speaking. One talking drum and one to the dancing. And sometimes... a second drum is repeating what the first drum is saying. And there's a muted beat and a free beat and something deluded in between to keep them needing one another, a clairvoyant child or psychic puppy rescued from being a clairvoyant child. And when I'm easy on the shield the piano is a drum too. And we all get together under a blue jungle moon and wait for the calendar to unlearn its own shallow riddles and drop 'em off in the stars like we were all single mothers with no fear of jupiter or jesus no more. Wait, wait, wait... you mean to tell me you can be so sensitive that you go numb, become a channel, know your whole self again, all that beautiful dissonance, mystical and never typical. Why was that not in the movie
