Strumming For One
A catalogue of songs
to choose from
some span twenty five years
It has become such a tame affair
early gigs
dressing down
This audacious nature
plays it safe
edgier material banked for another gig
A pedestrian audience
seated and non-responsive
watching others for permission to clap
But there will be one spirited listener
each strum inspiring a little movement
a body eager to feel a rhythm
We will not meet afterwards
but she will guide me through twenty minutes
and I won't feel like I'm singing to dead air.
