"TURKISH" CONCERTO

Rehearsing Mozart's
no. 5 in A major
concerto for violin
"the Turkish"
with rubato
for my recital
trying to quiet down
near my pianist
for Friday's recital
practicing my vibrato
in sounds not ascending
through the sound proof
studio windows
as the shade opens
and friends ask me
to play football
not knowing my uncle
and teacher forbids it.
