¡Oh, Put On Another Record And Bring Me A Drink!

I like The Jazz
We listened to Roland Kirk
and Eric Burdon sing of
Roland Kirk

And the hum of the freezer

Roland borrowed a phrase from Coltrane
and I borrowed a phrase from
Williams while peering into windows and
smashing bottles on wet pavement

But the sound of breaking glass
isn’t omniscient
like the sound of the horn

Then
spherical breathing brought to rest
with
sweaty nakedness and the need for water
Panting and the phrase is subtle
I can keep rhythm w/ Roland
better than w/ ‘Trane
but I’ll be damned if’n my heart don’t explode
