Music Man

Near the corner of Classen and Reno, he sits, eyes unfocused, arms on knees, hands dangling. As SUVs swiftly pass, the click of locks heralding their presence, he caresses the image of a violin in the air and begins his serenade.

Over the cadence of passing feet, only the street lamps glowing orange move in closer to hear him play.

I love the rag-dollish image you paint of the un-noticed musician, how the glow of the street lamps come in to hear, as if light drawn to beauty! Nice.

Lovely image. I don't find it sad really. You can't blame people locking their doors. They don't see him and he doesn't see them, the way we do. That's the beauty of being on the outside looking in. Or is it the inside looking out? Hmmm...

Excellent work.
