a poet always writes
which brings up the phrase,
i set about to read all the greats
i was addicted
had already been space aged
i had seen the invisible cigar craft
jazz entered my childhood at its end
was looking for that heroin color
for that blonde beyond blonde
that high note hit when cool was cool
a poet always writes
but before that, the poetry flow
the horn was born to play blue beyond blue
