FlutistWith a simple declaration she dropsFlutist
seventy-five percent of her life
to her feet, sheds an identity old enough
to drive and kicks it aside as easily
as saying I am not a Musician. After
a lifetime of pressing herself
through crowded doorways she turns
and finds everything swings more easily
in the other direction, the crowd depositing her in the alley with all the other non- musicians to wait for a glimpse of fame.

Soon they were kicking, rushing
up the rungs, bloody knuckles
cracking under each other's boots,
ignoring gaping holes in the
infrastructure, until the top-heavy scaffolding bent and broke.
