So what if your strings break. How many strings
Does someone need? Make smaller music then,
And if your instrument is out of tune,
Do not despair. Play melancholy songs.

The strings intact and sounding as they should,
The concert-goers waiting for what’s good.

Convince yourself that there is no lost ground
Between perfection and what’s merely sound.
