I swear it is not my intention to make a "career" out of memorializing jazzers with lunch time verse, but-wrinkles and all, they come when they come
this is called "no moe"
(for billy higgins) fyi.the erstwhile scribbler
Reuben Jackson
"no moe"
- your hands
- rise and fall
- like empires
- above
- waiting drums
- each head
- a trampoline
- for savvy sticks
- sketching a
- hip heartbeat
- or brush
- strokes
- so soft
- they barely
- wrinkle
- the air
- smile,
- smiling billy
- its allright
- you are no
- sentimental
- minstrel show
- no sepia
- daguerreotype
- ensconced
- in someone's locket
- who could
- remain
- stoic
- as Coolidge
- in the midst
- of constant
- beauty
- anyway?
