Wind Bagging




I sense disappointment today extruded from the black
Case holding the ever/over-bearing horn.
Something better in the performance you want?
Something as sensual as your beloved jazz saxophone?
No – I play trombone.
I can’t get squeaky/squawky – all helium delirious as your notes protest.
Chord progression talk no longer flows through the brandy decanter
Sitting on the slightly 60s mod glass dinner/slab table – I gave up on that
To pursue the slide and my stride evolved into something derived of my own song.
Try again old man.
Make me embrace Charlie Parker.
Make me faint from Coltrane.
I play trombone.
