The numbered piece is kept inside a steel-lined box
A stamp marks the serial and the paper stock
Only trusted, authorized staff keep the master code
And the route to the safe is a rarely travelled road
It appears only twice a year, but that's fair
And the room gets one white spotlight in the air
A velvet rope gets unclipped, then the wall divides
And then the case slides open and the guide smiles
The piece sits like a crown on a marble stand
Its facets catch the crowd like a brass band
And the glass case clicks shut as fast as it came
Making every witness repeat the claim
Each time the door unlocks, and the mouths all go bone dry
They hold their breath until the glass case carries no lie
But the long wait is like a silent gate
So they come in through it before it's late
Brass plate, number five
Rarely seen by the public eye
It's a treasure you just can't deny
Years of hiding make the value high
No one can buy this
They can borrow it for a single night
The velvet rope is pulled to one side
The gallery holds its breath for a sign
Only one
The myth is built on the years between
Each generation hears the old legend clean
The shortage of looks is the secret fuel
And the asking price climbs and the bids grow cruel
The collectors circle the platform for deals
The crowd holds its breath as the lacquered box lid peels
A fingerprint of the maker shown under the glass
It's the mark that makes the final bidding amass
Then the hammer falls with a heavy low thud
And the room exhales with a satisfied flood
The winner collects the piece with cotton-gloved hands
And the rest file out with a story as planned
And the legend grows with every new closed display
And the wait becomes a story told every day
But the rare piece stays safely in the vault
So the next sighting stops them all at a halt
Brass plate, number five
Rarely seen by the public eye
It's a hunger that you can't untie
The longer wait makes the crowd ignite
They are all packed tight
The velvet cord is unlatched for the sight
A single spot stays on the glass case
The curator lets the last guest inside
One of one
