Tribute

It’s likely/ It could be
That when Leonard Bernstein,
At his piano bench,
It was very late when he…
In a creative trance,
Had opened an envelope
From Stephen Sondheim,
And started to work on
A musical phrasing for
“There’s a place for us”,
He eyedropped a gold teardrop
into a test tube, & heaven reacted,

& now can make me ache
20,000 late nights after
