Philip Glass was a Plumber

Philip Glass was a plumber

Musician and composer

All at the same time

Under sinks and in concert halls

Toilet bowl and Hollywood Bowl

Making minimalistic music

And mending your pipes

While playing the organ

And blowing your mind

The universe is big enough

For your job and your art

And your most lasting legacy

May be in the office

The classroom or workplace

For there your deeds shine

Here, there are only words

Thoughts

We artists are prone to think that if only we could be free of the 9 – 5 we could create life changing work. I think that is true for some people. Others, like me are prone to procrastination. Sometimes it’s good to ground yourself in reality while living in fantasy.
