This was written about a musician with Alzheimer's who was a patient of mine.
                            Nat
            the pianist/percussionist
            of publicity shot and symphony
            stands six-five. Uh, uh,
            uh scat urbane in urine.
            Artist bare. Digressing.
            Voice fluid, banging. A
            mothball in scene blessing
            a student to stay his course.
            Mozart happy - oblivious to pee and context;
            a demented drum his metronome.
            All moments bar this one simultaneous.
            Comes a mad muse to candle mind...

            Nat's eyes catch an allowance of clarity.
           
            Bestowed our moment
                                              an oration
            pounds reduction
                                              note for note.
           
            "Nothing can take what I'm about.".
