As the light slowly rises...the first sound is a piercing monotone beep. The metronomic sound stirs the other instruments..lets them know it's their time to phrase measures, crescendo and accelerando. first comes the shoulders. Their deep languid tones set the theme for the symphony of joints. The morning silence is broken with quick pointed "pop's" they lead the way for the other joints, muscles and bones to chime in. The elbows , high and tightly wound, let their presence known with two pronounced crepitates. These are closely followed by the vertebrae. Joining the musical morning in cannon with each other running trills up and down while each ankle keeping steady time with every step to the bathroom "creak" "snap" "crack" . I conduct each instrument with precision. The knees keep the music going and as the song moves towards the bridge, the neck and wrists complimenting each others' sing song claps, finish their sections quickly but with pronounced enthusiasm. By the time the coffee is brewing the Opus has ended. Not to be missed as it will be replayed the following morning. Its quickly becoming my theme song. People hear my instruments practicing for their performance sometimes throughout the day and often ask "UH are you OK that sounded like it hurt" no no practice makes perfect.
ugggg.....I'm sore....
