Watching the Flutist


I pulled out my binoculars to investigate
more closely how those lips worked,
whether she actually was breathing or
was she a stunt flute player, in disbelief
I saw she was a real human being playing
an impossibly difficult passage, her face
was not blue and she looked relaxed
in her diva orange gown and stilleto heels.
