Quintet

The Tenor plays
Plays his ass off
This delights the crowd
The joint was smoking literally as well as musically
The Tenor kept going and going
Hitting the note with power of feeling
Coltrane would have been proud
Enter the trombone
Playing its slow, sliding notes
Sliding from this note to the next
The rhythm section keeping it together
Low and sliding
The notes sliding like butter off a muffin
Cheers from the crowd
The tingle of the ivories was next
Tingling and pleasant
His touch on the board was pleasant and inviting
One thinks of Bud or Monk
Touching his lady with love and affection
Touching his woman black and white
Then its back in unison
The head
The Bridge
Repetition of the final four bars
Finis

Sick

Body numb, coughing some Mid-winter colds are always a joy! Just always in time to annoy Advil, Alka-Seltzer, Tylenol All claim to provide relief Actually subduing my grief The relief is oh so brief In a few days I should be fine No point to sit and whine Feeling better will be divine

Longer

The longer you stay, the harder it is to get away Such is life's way Building up such a nay Getting comfortable and set in ways Becoming too lethargic to stray Living just comes what may Dreaming of a way to get away Breaking through the fray Knowing what needs to say This being the only way One needs to say The shorter the stay, the easier it is to get away

Another night

Another night and it is long Scent of a day gone by strong Sitting here wondering & pondering Will there be a new beginning by the dawn's early bright Each new day full of wonder and fright Perhaps, it should be made into a delight Every day ends in a new night Every day begins with new light This being what should be a delight To wake up and live Pains and agonies one must forgive Forgiveness is a gift  Depsite what those who refuse to forgive            each day is a new chance to live
