THE ROCK PUSHER
He is an old tree,
the way he bends
but never breaks.
His secret is
his roots
go deep.
He says he can
remember every
show he’s ever played
...though he did struggle
for a moment
to recall whether
it was a quarter
or a dime that
had been thrown
at his face,
uniting him with
mass market passion
for the remainder
of the set.

Dear S,
Fantastic. Made me think I was peering in on an interview with an aging musician. He would remember the gigs and the music, the other details are nonessential. Excellent write. H🌷

Instant capture, witty and truthful. Rather than words per second we get a warm and rapidly drawn portrait. Loved it.
