notes from an out of tune piano

the left hand starts

a bass line avoiding

familiar notes, for accidentals

the right hand takes a ride


let me sing of your changes (andante)

swell...swell...who can tell?

let me glissando your joys (forte!)


and then mid-transposition

the two of us harmonize

and bring all the mystery

down to size,


 -- douglas brent smith
