I am proud to present to you our fourth three-person rengay, Chopin Cucumbers. Written in league with fellow collaborators, David Bogomolny, Melissa Lemay and me!

Chopin Cucumbers

ml.     a song in my head
          while slicing cucumbers
           for dinner

db.     my child's MuSiC vIdEoS ~
           ~ to focus on verse? hopeless!

ls.       on a quiet street
            from an open window floats
                         dolce piano notes

 ml.     I glimpse a flock of birds
            as it waves into the sky

db.      YouTube              BLASTS
             finches          scatter  
              perching     higher

ls.        The pianist slams the lid 
            It’s dinner time on the street.
