They were filled
with integrity
right from
the gold
wedding ring
on their fingers
to the violins
which they held
with infinite
discipline
under their
chins
and as they played
soul opened
to soul
they were
in trance
and vibrated
with heaven.
And I a listener
felt only envy
an outsider
one undisciplined
and untalented
to reach such heights
so I told my soul
open up to such delights
but my soul replied
I would prefer
to have
a rhythm of hilly
billy swing and now
such chamber shit
music
surprised at such
a response
I strained
to listen
harder.
