Days in a row now
You’ve got your stool in the foyer,
Gnarled fingernails
Classical guitar.
Strumming and plucking,
Most beautifully
Did somebody hire you?
Or did you just see a need?
For those with cancer
You play in C minor,
Important work you’re doing.
You minstrel of meningitis,
Troubadour of tuberculosis
Don’t give up we need you so.
