War Drum - edit2

[TranquillityBase]

Hey duke-

I thought about this some more and have a suggestion. Try reversing the order, and have the charging cavalry at the beginning:  perhaps you put laundry in the dryer, and nod off into a fever dream of the charge (perhaps while reading some history). Then you awaken to the sound of those tennis balls thumping...

This could open up all sorts of dream sequence juxtapositions and sonic possibilities: aircraft, battering rams, machine guns, chariots, etc...

Just my 'nother 2 cents,
Marks

To go along with Mark's idea here, early on it occurred to me on first reading the shining dawn of empire could be reflected by the shining enamel of the dryer.....far fetched I know....
