He did not take the staircase
For fear that the thread of piano keys
Would play the breaking news
A song with but one sharp note
Knocking the doors with glass frame
People whisper; they might see
A fire alarm could go off
Who was smoking? They will ask
Would his innocence convince them
Especially on an afternoon like this
When even leafs on the tree smell burnt
Would they not suspect?
