somewhere
there
must
be
a
musician
,
a
violinist
maybe
,
who
was
once
pressed
for
time
and
needed
to
cram
in
one
last
practice
before
an
important
exam
or
audition
,
so
they
sat
at
a
red
light
,
or
in
a
parking
lot
,
or
they
slouched
against
the
side
of
their
parked
car
,
and
in
the
absence
of
any
conventional
or
adjustable timekeeping device,
they
played
to
the
steady
clicking
of
their
left
turn
signal
(
or
maybe
it
was
the
right
one
), guided
by
the
sound
bound
to
an
amber
light
moving
at
the
same
speed
as
a
human
heart
at
rest
.
and
they
gave
the
best
performance
of
their
life
when
no
one
was
listening
but
the
open
road
.

i
was
supposed
to
practise
with

learning
drums

limiting.
