the percussionist

to build up
his image, she tells me
that her friend
Rob,
is a percussionist.
not a drummer
in a geezer
band that plays
Tuesdays and Thursdays
down at Joe's tavern
by the airport.
he's not a drummer
she says.
showing me his five
by seven glossy
from his mullet years.
he's more than that,
much more.
you should hear his
solos.
Ringo has nothing on him.
he also plays
the tambourine when Eddie
can't make it,
doing time
for non-support.
