What sounds does the trumpeter blow from his horn?
when there is no stage, no lights
no audience
When in his band are
a fluorescent bulb buzzing and insects chirping
outside his basement window
When his songs vanish as he plays them,
never to be pressed into a record
or a soul
These silent sounds,
they intoxicate him
so that even he cannot recall how good they felt
