He was never afraid
to make big mistakes. His
ugliest canvas hung, like
a billboard, in Times Square.
His memorable Carnegie Hall
debut was marred by many
a forgotten lyric. That's why
I failed to trust him
to hang the sun in the sky,
to hang the moon, which
was probably a good thing,
because if I had trusted him
with celestial bodies
I might have, eventually,
trusted him with my heart.
