Moon River

as i

sit in large leather

chair

awaiting

the dental hygienist to

come

in with

her tools

of torture

and big smile,

i listen

to the music coming

out of the ceiling.

moon river,

by Andy Williams

with a lush

orchestra

behind him.

i prefer the simple version,

where Audrey Hepburn

sits on her

apartment

windowsill and strums

a guitar

as she sings 

in a whisper about

her huckleberry friend.
