the musician's girlfriend

she tells me that her last
five boyfriends
were musicians.
they sang and played
the guitar
or drums, or some,
just the tambourine.
some of them were
almost famous, i can't tell
you their names.
she looks off into the distance.
and smiles.
remembering,
i was their muse, 
their lovers,
i was in the game.
we had a grand old time.
i help her to her car,
as she limps,
leaning on her cane.
