inspired by
simple notes played
on such a simple-looking
instrument that holds
so much more behind
its plain facade.

the right hands
can make the strings
hum like they never
have before.

i could sit here
all day, listening
to the right hands
play their complex
melodies on simple
two-toned keys.

even listening
to learning
is fascinating
when the right hands
are learning something new
that will soon be
breathtaking.

i sit here creating,
unaware of my progress
as he sits there playing,
unaware of his.

fueled by the right hands
are both of our art forms,
both revisiting where
we haven't been
in a while.

maybe i stare too much
but i can't help it,
i'm inspired.
