Half&Hal;;

Simply, half and half
makes a universe in a cup,
filled with cream and milk.
Know not what it is
but know what it is
not, and where it is,
(and if you dare)
know why it is.

Really, the bassist plays,
His universe is in a cup
filled with groove and rhythm,
he knows what that is.
He knows what it is not,
where it is found,
and why it is.
(and he does dare)

Simply, to know the contents
of your cup of half and half,
to spill it out and fill it up
again, ponder its past,
present,
and future.

Really, to know the music
that flies from your arms,
to hold them out and raise them up
again, ponder the chords,
  rhythm,
and progression.

Simply, you miss out.

Really,

You miss out.
