I
The problem with a piano
is
it only has 12 notes
II
A: “What about all the others?”
B: “But they’re just the same ones.”
C: “You’re both wrong.”

(III was silence; rest)
Shut up!
V
Inside the confines
shut up
Inside the coffer
of hammers & strings
No one hears
the angel sings
but I heard it
heard the tune
one afternoon
in June
plucking the little
metal wire spokes
the casing of a small fan
to cool you on a
summer’s day
I heard them pray
VI
Another time
I stayed awake
all night
and heard
the bird
song of dawn
and that’s a fugue
Bach failed to recreate
