FOR ALEXANDER FOKKENS –
conductor
time stands still
as he stands in silence
at one with the silence
of the Universe
in readiness
to bring to mobile casino life
the inspired sounds
penned on the score
lying lifeless before him
sounds awaiting
the beat of his baton
beating in time
to his heartbeat
and the listening ears
of his hearers
