Chandrakant Shah

THE PIANO

One piano
Two light blue jeans
Three o’clock show
Four main characters
Five dollars per person
Six-cinema multiplex
Seven M&M candies
Eight ounces of diet soda
Nine hundred popcorn, fresh butter with salt

In the darkness
All that is played by lips on the keyboard is the piano
All that is told by the eyes is the story
All that happens in the 35 mm frame of two seats is the movie
