I played your keys, your white
Temperament and your black
Plasticity; the harmonies offset
By your dissonant lack of longing.
You played my keys, my pale face
Of innocence and my dark gloomy
Backdrop; the harmonies offset
By my lack of personal presence.
We played each otherโs keys,
Never in tune, never attuned,
Never hearing more than
Our own melodies.
