A Deaf Guitar
What is a guitar when you can't hear?
A guitar is a story. A story about a young boy,
who stands on a street corner in the city. He holds his guitar like his first love,
and lovingly presses the worn fretboard with his fragile fingers.
He has a beat-up ratty sweatshirt on, and old dirt-covered Chucks on his feet.
His guitar case is covered in stickers and open at his feet,
with a few dollars strewn across the bottom.
Nothing extraordinary about him - except for the look on his face.
A look of intense passion as his fingers fly and he loses himself in the music.
A look that proves he has forgotten that it is a cold winder day in the city,
and that he has to panhandle for food.
A look of love.
