jazz blues classical soul

for bill evans

jazz blues classical soul
reverb reverb reverberation
changing stations in jamaica 
heading for the gran ticino

on thompson street, west village---soon
after a stop at the asian laundry 
slurping miso soup, reading village voice,
machado translated  by bly, 

my yellow bicycle tied up 
between west third and bleeker
bunny runs in washington square park
two hours before sunset-

in fall around 3 PM, pooling
memory  to memory gene bath
we endure a complex poem--
resembling nothing  but the enormity

of everything--threaded throng
spinning taciturn, cheerful when
hydrangeas bloom blue--  blue purple
in its countenance: salacious, lugubrious,

bastions  of beauty stoked
with thick shiny patina
patterned after heroes,
after hours we keep

plastering poems on wide eyed dancers
just in from the wildflower creek
lasting another supermooned solstice 
finally we all can get some sleep
