Another poetic soul corrupted by the temptations of the world
Sobered up enough to play for coins
And the occasional dollar
Talent married to developed skill
Adroit fingers
Entertaining passing strangers
In a suit he's slept in for weeks or longer
His hair matted, unwashed
Beethoven
Chopin
Mozart
Liszt
Hadyn
Schubert
Something bright
Something romantic
"Thank you, brother"
When you toss in a contribution
With a smile
