WORKIN' ON JAZZ
jazz cat on tenor
holding back while the drum goes
from tom
to tap to head to cymbal to crash to floor
to explosion ..
taking back another shot of air like
it's silk bourbon,
the piano man may get several keys
in on this song,
yet he knows over the course of the set
he will educate ..
Educate on the remainder of a visceral American music medium
and thinking thoughts of how the
world is now mixing chocolate in milk,
planting scallions,
giving a fat cat a collar,
looking at Stone Henge,
turning up Monk
turning down a gun for sale
and bleeding with truth as though water was
never water and
breath was always air.
