Perfect Pitch

Outside corner, low, away, 
Paint the black. Strike three. 
Hometown crowd erupts with joy, 
Fanatics roar with glee.

Mezzo soprano sharpens. Ends 
Her aria with ease. 
Audience is mesmerized,
Mezzo soprano pleased.

Salesman standing, foot in door to 
Satisfy my itch, 
Amaze me with your talent for
Illusion, bait and switch.

Braced for failure, seeking out 
Perpetual perfection. 
Seldom finding sweet success 
Advancing my direction.

Goes to show, one never knows
The what, how, where or which, 
The subtle canvas that we paint 
In finding perfect pitch.
