The Pit

I wrote this after a Nine Inch Nails concert where I was in the pit.

energy building
legs tense
spine tight
neck stiff
heart pumping
arms raised to brace and protect
lights go dim
everyone stands
the music starts
the crown rushes
Jumping and bumping
pulsing to the music
the whole crowd sways
fists shoot up
screaming all around
yelling with the music
surfing in a sea of people
hold them up over your head
the only way out is up
the crowd is one body
moving in one motion
you're in the pit!
