To Die in Harness

A grizzled subway musician, slightly
Overdoing his being a victim of circumstances
Still offers commuter-compatible opera.

Rather jolly good stuff, but working out as a life in this
Life by dint of naught but one’s fiddle is well-nigh hopeless.
So why not spend it downright underground?

Either way, luck is doomed and not for the meek.
This guy went places and where he went is alive with his peers.
We’ve all got only one life that’s as good as the next one.
