Suddenly she realizes
she’s been reading
the wrong book
and following the wrong
rules. And living in the wrong
neighborhood in the wrong
city. And working at the wrong
job and playing the wrong
piano. Wearing the wrong
smile. Loving the wrong
man. And she wonders
what’s so wrong
with wrong.

Uh, no. “The Wrong Piano” is the title of a song by Vic Chesnutt, so it’s kind of a riff on that.
