musicians and their teachers

musicians and their teachers: 
musicians, and their teachers,
musicians 
and their teachers! musicians 

and their teachers
the mamas & the papas
who feed and love the musicians 
and their teachers
the miracles 
that make musicians  
and their teachers say
aren’t you glad u learnt yr scales
yr rounds & bach chorales 
long tones 
listen to their sounds closely 

but the musicians and their teachers
the temptations 
of sweet sorrow in each breath 
of sarah vaughn howling out
mean to me
musicians and their teachers
