the sidewalk is
littered with instruments.
they gather together.
the trumpets,
loud and brash,
pronounce their feelings
in a way that
cannot be ignored
even though you try.
a duo of flutes
pass by, twittering,
high and thin.
laughing music.
in the cafeteria
sit some drums.
their jarring noises
rise above the cacophony.
a few cymbals rest
among them.
ringing out with
a jump-inducing suddenness.
here a lone tuba
and there a flock of violas.
the latter are an
enchanting group.
they sing softly
and kindly together.
the noises blend
and create one song.
humming,
beating,
buzzing,
screaming,
moving,
living.
i walk silently
through the
intimidating symphony.
