chopsticks

the piano teacher
next door
has new students. i can hear
them playing
chopsticks through
our shared thin wall.
their small fingers plunking
eagerly at the keys.
and when i see the children
leave to their parents waiting
in idling cars,
i observe the teacher.
waving to them to them all,
smiling broadly.
she seems happy.
she seems relieved.
