AT THE CONCERT


The first piece was dissonant and boring so
I followed Sam Johnson's example
Withdrawing my attention and thinking
About Tom Thumb. Since the two of us were
Having the same thoughts, Johnson
Was nearby. We nodded but Thumb
Was on his feet, urgently defending
His right to be taken seriously
Despite standing just shy of three inches tall
And his history of being trapped
Inside various types of pie.
