If I'm Quiet
If I'm quiet
 I can hear the music
 Miles Davis
 Swirling like a soft wind in the far room.
 
 It contemplates without crescendo
 Delegating
 And then decides
 To cautiously step into the hall.
 
 The trumpet's brassy sound becomes bolder
 As it bravely begins to parade about the entire house itself.
 The saxophone does not contemplate without crescendo
 But makes an extravagant entrance with forte.
 
 Momentarily, the microwave
 And its appalling machine language
 Twists and chokes the song
 With beepings and noises of the like, closing around the sweet sound.
 
 With a gasp
 The music returns
 But by this time
 The song has reached its double bar line.
