Behind the Blinds, We Hear the Music
We are relaxing at the Box Office Cafe
The rustic venue is nearly full
Despite the day’s wintry wind
Everyone is warm and comfortable
Behind the verandah’s new protective blinds
We are listening to a glorious song by Sigur Ros
Playing to a happy community gathering
At a bucolic open-air stage in Iceland
And the stirring concert auspiciously reflects
The collective ambience of our surroundings

Sun is shining on our table … Frankie perusing my poem … Frankie gives me that look
I Am An Emotional Guy
We are at the Café
Sheltering under the verandah
The winter sky is gray
And drizzly rain gently
Dribbles across our table
Then the sun streaks through the clouds
I am listening to music by, ‘Sigur Ros’
And out of nowhere
I start sobbing rivers of tears
I am an emotional guy
Teary during the worst of times
Or even at the best of times
After you watch the Sigur Ros video below
You might appreciate why I cried so instantly!
I found the “Andra” audio/music/video to be very touching
I do not understand the lyrics
But I do comprehend the sensitive nature
Of their passionately emotive music
The table napkins were handy
For wiping my watery eyes
My Pal Frankie, knowingly smiles at me
As the dappled midday sun
Slowly dry these smeared words
That splashed across my blue lines
