banjo music down the street

when i hear

banjo

music

coming from down

the street,

i stop what i'm

doing,

squint my eyes

and look off into the distance

where the music

is coming from,

i say out loud

to no one,

is that banjo

music?

i don't start tapping

my foot,

or drumming

the counter.

i go to the window

and look

out.

i have a look of bewilderment

in my eyes,

like a dog does,

when

you tell them it's Tuesday

again.
