i hear...

i hear the early commuter train
& a bird singing - -
spring?

homage...

& a bird is up uphill
slanted branches beneath its breath
&
now
spring is a pizza a piazza a so & so - - what!
poetry nights reciting
little bebop bands meeting did you say melting?
melting!
not miles not art pepper not chet not basho basho
basho said beauty
beauty
an intricate sewing of canvases & poetry & fugues
paper
& dance
& mache
strings
& chance lilies slapping the upright bass
stut stut stut clifford brown's trumpet is ah ah
ahmen
a
homage
is the sweet poet the sweet poet to read
