Chopin: Nocturne No. 2 in E-Flat Minor
You watch the world go by
and these strings add a rhythm to their walk.
The mother and daughter appear calm.
The quarrelsome two, right behind, see to add the composition to this sound
- their hands moving just in sync.
At a distance, a middle aged man wearing spectacles
reaches for his nose and I look away
- Chopin isn't for this.
In the cafe, from where I watch this stage,
two women have just walked in - and taken their seats. Uneventful.
Nocturne No. 3
"We have no time to stand and stare"
Read both ways.
One, get on with life since you don't time to spare
Or, the other, that you are too consumed to be aware, and maybe catch a breath to just stare!
Nocturne No. 5
I am ready to move.
