some people sit and read
the program but do not pay
attention to the music or the tempo
they do not single out instruments
they need punctuation in poetry
prose in the shape of a column

    I was out driving this afternoon, playing Bach on the USB. I was thinking of your poem as I sort of drifted in and out of the music. Whenever I had to concentrate on the road — avoiding drifting or blowing snow or over taking — I lost track of the music. Your verse came to mind.
