Jazz Fest

Jazz Fest



Sunshine.

Staccato shots on shoulder

Between the verdant leaves.

Maggie Brown twerping, cooing like a bird,

On stage in floating violet plumes.

I sit among my peers:

Old black men with canes

Smiling at the stage

In memory only, can't hear a thing.

Young dudes in dreads still

Learning, yearning for the pure

Improvisation of jazz.

Jazz ,breaking in staccato starts

Like lake waves, sun on shoulder.

There are no mistakes.

Just constant renewal

Of sun, wave, and sound.

Improvisation is allowed.
