PASSAGE
I carry my trumpet case like a promise,
heavy and bright, even when it's closed.
The hallway echoes, and I hear applause
before it happens.
When the band director says, "One more time,"
I don't hear a complaint.
I hear a door opening,
wide enough for mistakes to walk out.
A squeak in my note is not a disaster;
it's a map that says, "Try here instead."
I watch my friend frown at the same sound,
like the music betrayed him.
But I know the song is still growing.
And I'm growing with it,
breath by breath.
How does the speaker's hopeful perspective influence how mistakes in music are described?
