Sub-Surface Unity

the wind blows through a stack of upright pianos stranded on a sandbar and the sound blends with the beat from a thousand all-nite afterparties far off in the distance. the music moves your feet, tugs on your heartstrings and existentially pulls apart the sinews of your mind connecting you to “the same force that lit the stars.”
