The Micro Banjo

The banjo is a hidden world.
Those jazz players diminish it.
That rhythm guy strums it
.
like it were a drum.
When the country folk
pick up the banjo, it makes
.
tiny melodies within the strum.
The banjo is infinite, model of time,
the way God understands it.
.
Music within music,
notes jammed inside
a shell of strumming.
