twenty minutes with Tony

i remember
seeing tony Bennett
in concert
about twenty years ago.
he sounded
just like you expected him
to sound.
it was
like dropping the needle
on an old vinyl
record, but without
the skips or scratches.
he hit all the notes
as he sang
his classic songs.
leaving his heart once more
in San Francisco,
for the millionth time.
he did about twenty minutes,
smiled and waved
to the crowd,
and then someone
took his elbow and
walked him off.
the next group i don't
remember,
or the one
preceding tony either.
