Ballsy Cello

Much better the man says
Get off that the violin says
as the violas laugh
                              skipped a beat, sorry
Playing together for the first time
in several years sounding
like it was an everyday occurance.

That's the wrong note
         can we stop I'm missing beats in my bar
1/4 vs. 1/8
in those days it was different
five parts of a whole sound
225 years in the making

twitching feet is this correct
I love the dark stuff it makes me happy inside


Serious faces betray serious frivolity
Smiles betray small mistakes
Faster with flourishes
        STOP
A little too fast
blame it on the photocopy

We're on the beginning again with
serious playing
Violas getting some action
leaning into the stand with eyes
focused across on the violin
The minuet begins a garden of sound
bounded by the ballsy cello
