Earlier insulted by
tinkering piano tuner
who mumbled something
about cheaper instruments’
mediocre sound quality,
the small piano swells
with dissonant rage
when unaware student
pounds out Bieber hit
instead of fingering
classical masterpiece.
In elegant contrast,
the gracious silver
coffeepot keeps her
serene composure,
never spilling hot
drop when filling
embarassingly silly
souvenir shop mug
sporting older couple
on beach with words,
“Iowa is for Lovers”.
