The Orchestra

This orchestra is playing in the future
always in the future

They are lonely, distant from us
The instruments they play will never be invented

Nobody attends their concerts
They play in empty, wooden halls

When they stay in hotels
there is only the solitary bellhop

The lace bed covers and
crystal pitchers of water

Who will ever hear
this orchestra from the future
