Beating drums

scramble to write down

dates to try to make sense

out of the beating drums

when they didn't beat

so well at night's beginning

when the dance was

exhausting when the

drummers needed to

remember the electro

magnetic frequency

of this spinning world

but counted out the

second of the fourth

of the two thousand 

and twenty second

to the eve of Christmas

that same turn

to the second of the fifth

of the two thousand

and twenty fifth

had we finally had enough

just enough to make

all your friends speechless

when you introduce me

yeah, let's dance 

to our own drum
