Doug Hoekstra<\/h1>\n

Ode to the Blue Room<\/span><\/h2>\n

Waiting to enter
\nthe Blue Room to see
\nJack White and his band
\nblast through tracks
\nfrom his new album,
\npounding drums
\nstaccato keys, and
\nthrashing guitar,
\nset to collide in
\na special performance for
\na couple hundred Nashvillians,
\nmyself included,
\nI stand in a cell phone free zone
\nreading the pocket
\nThich Nhat Hanh,
\nthe teacher
\nwriting about
\nthe wounded child inside
\nalways trying to get out,
\nmen and women around me
\ndance, smoke, sway and
\nI wonder
\nhow
\nthis
\nall
\nfits
\ntogether.<\/p>\n
