Small pieces of pride and shame scattered all around
how about you pick them up
and put them in a hat?
There's a guy in the subway playing a million notes a second
totally oblivious to everyone
somewhere there's a concert hall
where they're hanging on every word
Not really sure who is talking to who.
I have a few dimes to spare.
The cabinets are not so bare.
Yet here I am busking
because meditating with the muses
is far too rare.
