Emerging from the salty car to start again
Tired after school voices filter in
The flutes are reunited after winter hibernation
The cellist comes to have a chat
A debate starts up, geek talk, all geek talk
Doctor Who
My Little Pony
Flute, Flute, Flute
Dive in

Tap-tap, the new conductor passes out Brahms
And some orchestral jazz
The late file in, brass mostly, one flute
Silence rings, one at a time
Eight measures in, start there, it’s a start
Break time

Water, someone forgot
A flute confab, again the cello charms in
The violinist and the trombone discuss the Mahler
Back up on last hour
Trudge through Reminded
Say good bye

I like the quick, short lines. It really does feel like a rehearsal.
