The Man
The man has a grand piano inside his head,
therefore the man is living inside a grand piano,
therefore the man is a grand piano and must be played.
When he is played there are arrangements
that are based in Africa and Italy and certain war zones
where words are broken and dancing will kill you.
Now the man has been invited to a concert hall
and we are at that moment when the pianist walks on
and takes a brief bow and the silence takes hold until
the conductor lifts the silence into sounds only in this case the man carefully climbs inside
the piano and we can see nothing of him;but it is OK with the conductor
and the orchestra appears to know what is going on and
soon there will be applause and refreshments and the beautiful lady from Romania will set herself
on fire.
