Piano Man



You just know he's had the same line up for quite some time now, probably updated every now and then to keep up with the trends. Maybe dig through some old forty-five's that some starlet revived, there are no shortcuts dear. Praying that his fingers stay fluid long enough and that he plays these hours at this place because he wants to. Thank you for decorating our dinner and every dinner that has opened and closed those doors. Keep the music playing.
Playing my ipod, not paying attention to the name of the station where I would get off. A choice as simple as left or right could make or break you. Confused, I asked the lady by the bench. Probably ridiculed, she chuckled. She could have just said it.
She could have just said it. It's a round table and you had your turn. I do not understand why being upfront is so hard to do for a lot of us.
A lot of us, probably restless by now. Thinking where, what to wear, with who, how. Friday is not really a work day but a day to preoccupy your head with weekend thoughts. A day to wish your life away.
Away we take off the minute I'm out of the office. No time is ever wasted and this time you are wishing for your life back, for time to be more kind by being slow, oh how we confuse God. I am getting my camera back today. The pixels are the pieces of the puzzle of this one big great adventure called life with you.
