ART MUSIC POETRY

The Poetry of Michael Langston


(50) THESE THREE THINGS

Three things in all the world, I know,
Are only loved by me:

An old piano's untouched keys
Laid out in symmetry,

A lonely, open skating floor
Where no one wants to be,

The blank and lowly empty page
From which springs poetry.
