I NEED MIRACLES
TO DILUTE MY STRUGGLES
WITH AN OVERWHELMING LIST OF IMPOSSIBLES
WAITING TO BE ENUMERATED AS PROBABLES
LEARNING TO BE PHYSICALLY STRONGER
PRACTICING TO BE MENTALLY TOUGHER
NOW HUSTLING IS MY ONLY INCANTATION
AS SUCCESS IS MY ADDICTION

I practise on my clarinet
do the scales
up and down
though various keys
then I take a wash
before dinner
and wonder
if Johnny Dodds
practised scales
as I had before dinner
after dinner
I put on
the Louis Armstrong's
Hot Five record
and sit and listen
Marion I recall
sang hot numbers
and when
they got too hot
she'd take a bath
and lift the soap suds
to her palms
and gush them
sexually
beneath her arms.

I tried a hundred times,
and a thousand times more,
but why?
To become the master,
I had to fail,
more times,
than the beginner is yet to try.

*With gestures increasingly erratic with every strike
And punts as constant as ink gliding across ivory
Our vigilant artisan gathers his wisdom on combat's eve.*
