My brilliant brother, Jack, finally gave a recital. Jack can play almost any tune 
in any style by ear. He can also talk about music with the talent of Leonard Bernstein. 
I think he would have been a great success in music if he hadn't been his own worst saboteur.

To Jack on his Recital
15 Sept 2002

Your long awaited recital may have left you with regrets
That instead of earning profits it increased your debts
But to me the worst thing by far about that afternoon
Was that it ended much, much too soon.
