he doesn’t play the piano
the piano plays itself
through the dextral treble
and the sinister bass clef
he doesn’t lift a finger
the ivories press back
the ebonies go up and down
without a single clack
he barely presses downwards
his fingertips suffice
the music plays the piano
he’s merely its device
