The walk
Regal with a spring a lilt
A bassline reminiscent of Mingus
Like
A
Song
The perfect float on cobblestone
Avenue
Street
Village
Square
1950s M.O.
Jimmy Ryan's, the Vanguard, Kerouac
And
Killarney,
A willow in the mist
The walk,
The step
Just the slightest;
Beating elegant against the wind out of Oyster Bay.
