Music tickles my ears
The advertised trio is
Actually five people
Two of who I’m surprised
And delighted to see

My love is enjoying the view
As we watch from the
Safety and coolness of
Our car sitting on the
Periphery of the park

People parade by mostly
Oblivious to our gaze
The kid on the skateboard
Who is very good
The expecting couple
Clearly smitten with each other
The four dudes in their
Out of place outfits and
Serious demeanors
That old couple we see
At most music events

Another talented musician
Walks by with a friend
Unoblivious he kindly waves
And we return the gesture

The second band is energetic
But we are not
We listen for a bit
Then slowly make our way to
Home

Music is a constant
And enjoyable way
To stay connected to
A heart of joy
