The Opening Bars
You know how certain songs can grab you
Once some notes are played?
Your ears perk up, you start to smile -
Attention must be paid!
When that occurs, your mind demands
You get to hear the rest
And if you can’t, you hum that tune
As if you are possessed.
This morning, someone passed me by
And from her ear buds came
Those seven most familiar notes
One musical can claim -
The opening of “Hamilton!”
And what a lovely perk
To listen to that upbeat score
While heading off to work.
