musical notes

banjo music
just doesn't melt
your butter,
nor does the harpsichord
or someone playing
a washboard
or a pair of
spoons, banging
them against
their hands or
legs. bagpipes.
shoot me.
you don't like
instruments made
from things
rusting in
the garage.
like bedsprings
from grannie's
old mattress,
or things like
empty bottles.
that guy in old
town playing
the crystal glasses
full of water,
rubbing his
fingers around
the rims, playing
beethoven
you want to knock
the table over.
not really, but it
might cross
your mind.
