Eighty-Eight

The number of keys
on an ivory keyboard
are the number of
syllables in this piece,
a restrictive box
self-impos'd upon
this being to make
some kind of grandiose,
all-encompassing point
that ev'rybody will
miraculously agree with,
a challenge to put it
mildly and bluntly,
so what can you say
in so few syllables and sounds?

In such confinement we can expand...know the boundaries can be pushed...dissolved....highlighted...
Press return...enter the info....delievered with passion and understanding!
Brilliant!

within the confinement of certain limitations (say, number of keys or strings, or even syllables), there exists the possibility for mind to express itself, which can trill the gamut from plain old noise to (say) the moonlight sonata or a keith jarrett fire storm
