Mary's Mom
Watching the show, I finally got it:
your ability to shut every-
thing out.
Tonight, I stopped fighting
your piano and just
listened.
For once, I was inside your music,
instead of outside,
wanting in.
Tonight I could see that your playing
has nothing to do
with me
That playing the piano is not something
you are doing
to me.
It is entirely yours, completely separate
from anything I can
control.
