I’m a man of contrasts…

Bukowski
Called it
Hot water music
And lately
In my down time
More and more
I’m turning to classical
To caress my thoughts
As I plan my future
And I dream
Oh how I dream
Of relaxing
With a glass of red wine
The radio tuned into classical
As I type up my manuscript
On a summers eve
In the courtyard
Of my Mothers house
Call it maturity
Or a softening of the soul
And I still love my punk rock
But Brahms and Bach
Chopin and Mozart
Are easing the load
As I do my time

During my time I came across a radio and for reasons unknown, as a card carrying punk rock fan, I started listening to classical. It really helped set a mood in my cell of peace and blissful solitude.
I’m still typing up my manuscript and listening to classical as I do it. I draw the line with the high brow at Opera and the line with the low brow at heroin.
I’m a man of contrasts…
Christo, I enjoyed this poem. The more things we come to appreciate, the richer life becomes. Enjoy! 🙂 Cheryl
