NaPoWriMo 2025: Day 25

“Write a poem that recounts an experience of your own in hearing live music.” (https://www.napowrimo.net/day-twenty-five-11/)

I have a friend who says
the best concert he ever saw
was late-career Miles Davis.

I have another friend who says
late-career Miles Davis was
the worst concert he ever saw.

How can both be true?
He was onstage for over two hours
and only played two notes.

“What a rip off!” says one friend.
“But those two notes were perfect!”
says the other.

I wish I could’ve seen him.
I wish I could know what
two perfect notes sound like.
