Proselytize

The Red Hatted Vagabonds pluck blues
chords near the yellow
tape at the street fair, not quite among
passerby. You can graph
the ripple of a drop in a glass

but the chorus sings from the torrent,
relatives or dreadlocked
Valkyries in matching
tie-dye skirts, where

the vocalist amid
loose gravel in-jokes
as if tied to the mic-
stand reaches

out and cries
proselytize me baby.
