Older Piano Students
At the high school
near where I used to live
I saw older people
taking a course in piano
Never was as good a pianist as my late father
Yet I do play on my keyboard at times
I know want the magic of
those black and white keys for their own
Music did not create the world
but certainly the world would be a poorer world without it
These people were brave
enough to attempt it
so they deserve some credit
The piano - forte
was only one invention among many
Sounds can change consciousness
and allow us to name the unameable
