PIANO
BAR
Once he had a piece down
he was able to watch the room –
watch who was who – and watch
who just came into the piano bar.
These two – obviously not married.
These two – obviously married, but
they are not going to last. Their
eyes are too around the room.
Then he saw these two come into the Inn….
Different …. Disturbed…. She obviously
pregnant – he deeply worried when he heard,
“There is no room tonight in this inn.”
No way? No room? Inn? Christmas Eve?
The piano player, without missing a beat,
began playing, “Silent night!” “Adeste Fideles.”
Then, “Go Tell It on the Mountain.”
