Real life

New suit
New tie
New life—
The cellist packs his 
Heart away in cedar balls and
Bubble wrap a
Week post-graduation and
Three days before 
New job.

A score of passion
Dusted away in a 
Week of 20-hour days
As a man with a firm 
Commitment to practice.

Ten years of transition and
He still dreams in E flat minor
When the briefs are due at nine.

Now he works 20 hours a week
At the refuge,
Consults by computer and
Follows his muse.
