Piano for shorty

                                                                           wallike.com

At the polished bench
by the grand piano
a pile of books

on the top half-sitting
cowering,- embryo pose-
a little girl, student-novice

squeezing the middle c,
sticking out short fingers she -
but a squirrel found acorn.

Little girl, sit tall,
flap the arms-wings
feel free
play a-b-c
