for tito puente
- though my feet
could not 2/4
worth a damn,
they tried
when the brass
and clave
called my name;
turned our
tiny basement floor
into the palladium;
and did not mock
my self conscious
bolero;
(slow dancing beneath
the blue lights
- for one)
- those aren't scratches
on those discs
turning
faster
than the
wheels of dharma,
but rain falling on
the antilles,
and mother
africa.
