The Sound of Shattering Glass

It started off as a ringtone that made me laugh. It became an ironic reflection of how I broke in Ghana. An upstairs neighbor of Counterpulse threw empty 40 ounce bottles from the window down onto the sidewalk of 9th and Mission the day we practiced at the bus stop. We were playing our shakers too loud. We had to run. There was glass everywhere. That part wasn't on youtube or in the pictures. Afterwards, we went inside to perform our Work-In-Progress showing to the sound of shattering glass. We ran again.
