Although the acronym "COASAM," meaning "Compositions of a Stupid Autistic Mind," sounds as if I'm beating myself up for being human (my worst habit), it also represents the annoying things I used to do as a child, which proved to my parents I really am autistic. This whole series of compositions are based on dreams I have from time to time, which are flashbacks of my childhood. These repetitive melodies, therefore, are generally either things I improvised and they stuck with me, or were based on things I discovered I remembered wrong.

Although I wanted to do another one of these for large or small pit percussion, I decided it was just easier to do a piano solo (although I also have an electric piano doing the exact same thing). Working a fast food job that I do, this piece is a representation of when I have to deal with impatient customers, although this might be exaggerated a bit:

1. "We want our food, and we want it right now!" - first four measures, played at 75 beats a minute
2. "Hurry up! Hurry up! How long is this gonna take?" - played at 130 beats a minute
3. Repeat this slightly faster, with allegro marking
4. Repeat this at tempo marked presto
5. At adagio tempo, "I have been waiting forever!"
6. Repeat this at moderato tempo
7. Repeat presto
8. At moderato tempo, "Where, oh where is my order?"
9. Repeat this at vivace tempo
10. Repeat presto
11. Repeat the beginning as the ending, but at 80 beats a minute

Not all customers are like this, but the impressions that the ones who are like this have left on me these past 4 and a half years and counting can be summarized as this.
