I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
Beautiful! Thank you for this surprise remembrance of Leonard Bernstein. "We'll catch up some other time . . . "

One of my all time favorite songs. Haunting and beautiful. I cannot believe they kept it out of the film.
