No one knows
better than the player
how the left hand
is only an imitation of the bass.
Sunshine appears twice,
but never laughter.
He is too serious,
the critics say:
whimpering through
a rainy day
as though it were
a terrible flood.
The rhythm is
uncomfortably accurate.
Listeners should know
they are intruding,
how difficult it is
to speak.
