Tokyo-born
singer seeks backing band.
She opened a long slit in
her lace stockings
and scribbled the text on the
outside of her leg
then took a seat on the high
neon bench beneath the strobe lights.
The DJ was doing his usual
spoken word that night,
which consisted of picking
shy girls from the crowd and
introducing them as if they were
the next pole-dancing act.
“Some people,” she thought
“don’t know when a joke's been killed dead.”

Her ad was not a joke, however,
and in the course of the night
five different drummers
came up to inquire.
“It’s only drummers care about singers, “
she thought.
She thought Perry and Leah,
fixed on each others’ necks,
fingering the volume dial
as if it alone could make
the perfect song.
Ego volume, neck to neck,
guitarists were two a penny.
It’s mostly drummers who get the gigs too.short story pt 1/2
