Musical Numbers
by Michael Keshigian
(12/20/06)
The great thing about the two of us
being in New York City
at the opera,
is that it is full of people
who don't know us.
People totally unaware of our plan,
that after the curtain drops,
upon our return to the hotel,
we will do in bed
or possibly on the
thickly carpeted floor,
our own musical rendition
of a familiar theme
that even you,
at this point in time,
do not realize
how much you will enjoy,
something with no real name
when performed as a duet,
nothing dissonant,
mostly harmonic,
a song without words
set in the perfect octave
of a musical drone,
the right amount
of vibrations per minute,
leading to a climax
as exciting as
the double digit configuration itself.
