black swan. 11x14''. water color. @adam sturch

The man at the piano

plays a song

he didn’t write

sings words

that aren’t his

upon a piano

he doesn’t own

While

people at tables

eat, drink and talk

The man at the piano

finishes

to no applause

Then

begins to play

a new song

he didn’t write

begins to sing

words

that aren’t his

upon a piano

that isn’t his

As the

people at the tables

continue to

eat, drink and talk

When

he finishes

to no applause

he announces,

over the mike, that he is

going to take

a ten minute break

He goes

back to the men’s

room

enters

a toilet booth

bolts the door

sits down

pulls out a joint

lights up

He’s glad

he’s not

at the piano

And the

people at the tables

eating, drinking and talking

are glad

he isn’t there

either

This is

the way it goes

almost everywhere

with everybody and everything

as fiercely

in the hinterlands

the

black swan burns

- The Man at the Piano by Charles Bukowski
