I know what the sign said but I couldn’t help myself;
with plaintive notes surfing on the drafts of air
surging through the city canyons,
I stood back,
wondering at our similarities of appearance and
stance, the both of us forever together:
I think he’ll remember me as
well as the notes of his
symphony.
 
Are you playing in the CONTEST - drink the wild wind ?
 
Here's a clue to help you:
 
The whole moves forward while the parts move backwards.
