Blue boards close in the verandas by the sea
Weathering gray
Coffees & petty color drinks
Waves
That rain that sea that morning
Boxes stacked
Sail luffing
Black flowers
Hey
Cat
Sing
Jackson Pollock
Play
The last time I saw Paris
Johnny Hodges
That morning gray
Weathering
Blue
On the verandas
Coffees & pretty color drinks some long blue
Her cup is painted like a Gauguin
His like a Matisse
Windows & verandas
The beach is quiet
That rain the screen doors clattering
& the bowling alley is closed
& the windows & the verandas are dark
- -
Then the sun came out on the purple flowers
On the beach
