The Words and the Music
Once in the cinema
my friend was looking at his phone
as always
and so I looked to see
what occupied him.
It was a synopsis of the film
that we were watching.
And suddenly I pictured us
watching Mozart performed in Vienna,
periwigged, gold-trimmed,
as rather than look at the stage and listen
he wore great muffs about his ears
and studied the music sheet in his lap.
