Note the high and the comparative low I won't read That's for scholars I listen and play That's not for dollars Hobby? Bah! Crabby and char Broiled by my oily keys Dust-ridden Unbidden, Another song develops And I want to shout: This is not who I am I am not, what, exactly here? That's a taste of the internal confusion engine That drives my mind To overuse transition words And that While I look at this piano And wonder Can an improvised verse Break my art-starved curse?
