A symphony of Schubert

Eventually disintegrates

To background music

For great ponderances

Such as

“How did that woman get here?

I wonder if she came to the Charleston Symphony

On purpose….

With full intention of being a concertmaster

In a small pond.”

She is a lovely dark haired koi

Whose eyes sparkle as

The conductor shakes her hand.

 

The conductor - who appears

to have a very precise cut

allowing his hair to move

as he directs, and

carefully curling

around the edge of his collar.

He is casually exquisite in white tie

A hint of an accent as he speaks to us.

 

I ponder also the decision of a man

To play the double bass

He’s easily six and a half feet tall

Remarkably, curiously slender man

Did he think that was his only choice?

Folding up his legs

Perching on a folding chair

With a violin dwarfed by his hands…

No. That obviously wouldn’t work.

He has chosen his profession well.

 

Profession.  These are professional musicians.

But playing for the Charleston Symphony

Cannot be their only occupation.

I know too much of the

Financial woes of my beloved city,

It cannot be. We do well to pay Grant Cooper.

 

How do the ladies choose what to wear?

How many outfits do they have

Dedicated to the all-black wardrobe of the symphony?

These are the burning questions

That form as Schubert drags on.
