Tonight's Poet Corner: Flirting With Musicians

Flirting With Musicians by Belinda Roddie I broke three out of the six strings on my guitar, so I carried it to the music shop where you were fixing a grand piano, and I loved the way your fingers arched against the ivory and ebony, the curve of its bones. I asked if you knew how to restring my poor, shabby instrument, and you directed me to the man behind the counter, whose beard was so majestic that I wanted to snuggle against it like it was a rich, red carpet for me to rest upon. As he tinkered with my guitar, I saw her, skirt bristling as she brought in her clarinet, and I wanted her so badly to wet the reed and trill the metal keys. That's when I realized how much of a hopeless case I was, so I hid my shame behind my fretboard once the pretty gentleman passed it back to me, and I played the same three notes over and over again in the corner until the store was closing and you very politely asked me to leave.
