the podium

third flautist
drives her
flute into
the neck of
the oboe player

sucker
punched
by bass
trombone

percussion
creates a
gang
swinging savagely
at all
comers

screams
grunts and
moans
english horn
sits in the
middle of battle
and weeps

a throat
clears
tap tap
arms raise
and hold

the symphony
begins
