DEATH OF A JAZZ MAN ( for Jazzman John Clarke )
DEATH OF A JAZZ MAN
( for Jazzman John Clarke )
It was as I
expected
there was these
angel chicks
playing on harps
on Cloud 9
other angel dudes
playing trumpets and horns
but man
there was the Big Guy himself
playing a mean baritone
saxophone
like he was Gerry Mulligan
or something
the lyrics were
you know
hard to catch
"...you are the music while the music lasts..."
or something
Eliotish like that
I strode up
to the Big Guy
checking his *******
with a grin
"Man, that's real
solid gone!"
"I shall be made
thy music..."
The Big Guy
smiled...blew
one long long
final note.
