Frank and Steinway<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

He was wholly played
\nA power-grater
\nThen himself
\nHauntingly beauty full
\nFrankly, quiet sad
\nBetween the notes
\nSome wear a mist
\nThe quick and the dead
\nKeys black and white
\nFrankly played
\nOver and over
\nAgin\u2019 hour soul
\nA victor and looser for
\nHelled together
\nBuy how ever scarred
\nImparts are parts
\nAparts are aparts
\nAs hole sum how
\nSoul fooly melodic
\nPlayed grandly
\nAs sum kind of pianist envy
\nAmor then herd
\nAmor then a loan
\nIn life
\nAnd death
\nMercy
\nAnd fearsome
\nTurning up
\nFore what might be
\nLife and deaf
\nAccosting amor
\nThen a song<\/p>\n
