the Diabelli Variations play on the stereo
you in your world me in my own
with off-beat accents and a grand and solemn glow
no one has come to see us, alone,
the theme in time begins a timeless, elegant echo
although we might not know
maybe a little pompous as the mock-heroics grow
our reflections come and gone
five, six, seven play in their various allegro
we may never need be shown
matching our own Tempo di Menuetto moderato
what has come to us unknown
