My Audience

My audience is a grandfather. Too kind and gentle to impart true criticism, they burst with platitudes and linger lightly on correction. My audience dotes on me like a prized grandson who has a passable talent for the piano, a talent through which the proud grandfather can easily imagine a Mozart, and everyone else sees an 11-year old child struggling to play an arpeggio.
