but you don’t answer
it’s the second song of the night
(the vibraphonist is playing a solo)
when I get that feeling in my stomach
the one you get as the roller coaster
goes over the top of the first hill
right before it picks up speed
but after it’s too late to get off
I can usually lose myself in music
but tonight I’m already lost
the quieter the band plays
the easier it is for me to hear the rush
of blood through my veins
this place is called the Whisper Room
because you can whisper on one side
and someone can hear you on the other
so I whisper your name
and wait
